Francia Márquez has enough charisma to raise this film up and make it vital. She turns this well-intentioned but flawed portrait into a film worth viewing.

Rated: 3/4

Given the threats of violence Márquez faces and her current position in government, it’s understandable there were limits to what this documentary could be.

POV Magazine

Márquez’s passion for breaking the chains that bind the oppressed is infectious, it allows Igualada to serve as a vital reminder that each person has the power to help evoke the change—no matter what they call you in the process.
