A shocking act of violence unfolds in rural Argentina when Javier Chocobar, leader of the Indigenous Chuschagasta community, is killed defending ancestral land from encroachment. The crime, captured on camera, becomes undeniable, yet justice is delayed for a decade as those responsible remain free. With a searching approach that delivers profound insight, legendary Argentinian director Lucrecia Martel (in her first ever documentary) reveals how this act of violence echoes centuries of dispossession, resistance and exploitation. Evoking the enduring connection between the people and the land, this documentary is one of the most important films of the year – with a message that will linger long after the credits roll.
