Listen "143: Isabel Castro on “Mija” at Sundance"
Episode Synopsis
“Mija,” premiering in the Sundance NEXT section, profiles Doris Muñoz, a young talent manager in the music business as she works with Latinx superstar Cuco and the newcomer Jacks Haupt. Filmmaker Isabel Castro immerses us in Doris’ world, drawing upon eclectic influences. Isabel's early idea of the film was “Almost Famous, but make it Chicano.” Then she had to adapt as the story takes unpredictable twists and turns. Our Pure Nonfiction interview is led by guest host Samah Ali, founder of Sisterhood Media and a festival programmer at DOC NYC and Hot Docs. Pure Nonfiction’s coverage during the Sundance Film Festival is sponsored by National Geographic Documentary Films.
