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.[1] Murat worked as a journalist for newspapers like Jornal do Brasil and O Globo before becoming a film director.[2]
Her feature film Que Bom Te Ver Viva is a compendium of stories and memories of her and other political prisoners.[3] In 2004, she returned to the theme with Quase Dois Irmãos, winning the Best Ibero-American Film Award at the Mar del Plata Festival.[4]
In 2011, Murat won several prizes at the Gramado Festival with the film A Long Journey.[5]
