WHY IT MATTERS TO US?
Mûpã combines a personal story of empowerment with a brave look at the tensions between tradition and justice. In the sacred forests of Antioquia, Morelia’s journey reveals the quiet strength of a woman who, facing rejection and pain, is forced to make profound decisions. The film moves with its humanity, cultural context, and the way it links the personal to the collective.
"Mûpã is built from silence and stillness, with a restrained mise-en-scène that leaves room for the viewer to inhabit the anguish."
"It’s impossible not to be moved by the film. Morelia’s search for a missing girl pulls us along with her, mixing helplessness and tenderness."
"What could be just another case of structural injustice becomes a powerful portrait of female power in marginalized territories."
