Ana Cristina Benítez is a documentary filmmaker who opens a window into her personal journey with breast cancer to spark honest and often difficult conversations. Through MAMA, she questions a healthcare system that prioritizes curing the body while overlooking the emotional and psychological dimensions of illness. Her film invites audiences to reflect on how we care for one another, especially in moments of vulnerability, and aims to create space for dialogue, recognition, and collective healing.
MAMA had its world premiere at Hot Docs 2025 and was awarded Best Pitch and Best Impact Movie at Sunny Side of Doc 2025.
