Synopsis

La Pola is the gripping, untold story of Policarpa "La Pola" Salavarrieta, a fearless revolutionary and the unsung heroine of Colombia's fight for independence from Spanish rule. A tailor by day and a spy by night, La Pola uses her wit, charm, and bravery to pass critical intelligence to rebel forces, risking her life to liberate her people from oppression. Set against the vivid backdrop of early 19th-century Colombia, the film immerses audiences in an era of brutal colonial rule, blending sweeping landscapes and raw, heart-stopping action with intimate moments of vulnerability, loss, and love. From the bustling streets of Bogotá to the secret underground networks of revolutionaries, La Pola portrays a woman’s daring commitment to freedom and justice. Through her mission, we witness the complexity of La Pola’s relationships — with Alejo, the passionate young soldier she loves; her brother, Bibiano, her ally and confidante; and the Spanish soldiers who underestimate her at every turn. At a time when women were expected to be silent, she spoke loudly through her fearless acts of defiance. As La Pola’s secrets unravel and the danger intensifies, she grows into a leader, embodying the strength and spirit of a nation on the brink of independence.
