"The jury described Juan Mejía Botero's Igualada as "a crucial film that can inspire audiences worldwide with the principles of justice and equality for the most vulnerable communities. The exposure and visibility given to the Afro-descendant community is a great success, given the history of inequality that permeates Latin America. The film's subject, Colombia's first Afro-Colombian vice-president Francia Márquez was followed for an impressive length of time. She will no doubt change the future of politics within Colombia and South America."
