In 2018 Mexico had a presidential election and saw a new type of candidate in Maria de Jesus Patricio Martinez aka Marichuy who was appointed by the National Indigenous Council to run for office. Their approach was not singular, it was community driven and headed by a woman who was a doctor and a long time activist.

In this interview, we speak with director Luciana Kaplan who captured this inspired story called The Spokeswoman . The film not only focuses on the candidate but the adversity she faces as well as the overwhelming support for the bigger issues at hand that she represents. The story is universal and Marichuy is a force to be reckoned with. Much love to SFFilm for screening this film. We're encouraged by this beautiful story.
