Director: Lucrecia Martel | 2025 | Argentina/USA | 122 mins Documentary
Argentinian Indigenous activist Javier Chocobar of the Chuchagasta community was murdered while protecting his ancestral lands. Lucrecia Martel skilfully weaves footage from the incident caught on camera, the ensuing court case, interviews with his heartbroken family and the persistent denials of the accused, creating a compelling tale of colonialism and arrogant entitlement. Her first foray into non-fiction is a masterclass in filmmaking as she builds her case with a combination of inescapable facts and stunning cinematography. The film bears powerful and beautiful witness to the heartache and grief of a community and the determination that is Chocobar’s legacy.
