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]

gollark: In what way?
gollark: Why not learn ARM assembly instead?
gollark: And then... writing a newline, and then exiting.
gollark: So, what this is doing is... initializing stuff for a `write` syscall, then... doing... some kind of stack operation on `rsi`, which also happens to be one of the params for syscalls, and then initializing `rdx` with 128 so 128 bytes are written, then writing?
gollark: I meant source. As in source code.
