Set in 19th-century southern Chile and inspired by true events, Brujería follows an Indigenous girl who uncovers a mystical world of sorcery rooted in the land. The film explores the real-life persecution of Indigenous Chilean sorcerers, criminalized for resisting colonial and religious authority, and focuses on powerful themes of cultural erasure, justice, and identity.
