Mija is a documentary that follows Doris Munoz, a young music manager whose undocumented family depends on her ability to find the next big star. We sat down with director Isabel Castro, and discussed the serendipitous way she got connected with Doris, the gold mine of family videos she had access to for the film, and the importance of elevating immigrant stories. She also shares the fine art of funding as an independent filmmaker, and how Disney came on board and picked up the film. Enjoy this thoughtful and informative conversation, and then don't forget to watch Mija on Disney+ starting Friday, September 23!
