Lúcia Murat

Lúcia Murat (born 1949 in Rio de Janeiro) is a Brazilian filmmaker.

Murat participated in the student and guerrilla movements against the military dictatorship in Brazil in the 1960–1970s. She was imprisoned and tortured by military agents; that experience exerted a strong influence on her work. Murat worked as a journalist for newspapers like Jornal do Brasil and O Globo before becoming a film director.

Her feature film Que Bom Te Ver Viva is a compendium of stories and memories of her and other political prisoners. In 2004, she returned to the theme with Quase Dois Irmãos, winning the Best Ibero-American Film Award at the Mar del Plata Festival.

In 2011, Murat won several prizes at the Gramado Festival with the film A Long Journey.
