Hot Docs 2025 Spotlight: MAMA by Ana Cristina Benítez
At 36, Ana faces a diagnosis of late-stage breast cancer. She finds refuge in her camera and family archive. Through these images, she reflects on her journey, and in her scar, she discovers that healing reaches beyond the physical body.
MAMA is Ana Cristina Benítez's first feature documentary. At the film's premiere at Hot Docs in Toronto, I had the opportunity to speak with her and the film's producer Bernarda Cornejo Pinto.
