In October 2009, Javier Chocobar, a member of the indigenous Chuschagasta community in Tucumán, Argentina, was shot and killed defending his people from forced eviction, with two others wounded. In her enlightening documentary, Argentinean filmmaker Lucrecia Martel pays cinematic tribute to those deliberately erased from history, interweaving the murder trial, the lives of Chocobar and the Chuschagasta people, and Latin America’s colonialist legacy of land and property theft – with a visually ravishing, vertiginous approach.
* Recommended for ages 12 and over.
