Supergal
Superheroes play a leading role in many contemporary films, and Latin American animated films are not left out of this. This is evident in La Súper, the colorful first feature-length film by veteran Cuban animation filmmaker Ernesto Piña. Yudeisi is a young woman whose fight for justice makes her the chosen one for a series of superpowers. These do not come from technology or experiments, but from an aboriginal warrior who freed the inhabitants of her village 500 years ago and whose spirit resurfaces to fight for good. Yudeisi as a new defender uses her qualities to defend women from male violence.
