In her first documentary feature, Argentine auteur Lucrecia Martel (ZAMA, THE HEADLESS WOMAN and LA CIÉNAGA) investigates the 2009 murder of Indigenous activist Javier Chocobar—shot while defending his community’s land from capitalist raiders—and the systematic dispossession of the Chuschagasta people he represented. Martel alternates between footage of this controversial, long-delayed (9 years after the incident) trial, which hinges on a shaky cell-phone video; testimonials from Chuschagasta community members; and aerial footage of the stunning Tucumán province Chocobar fought to defend. 

OUR LAND had its world premiere at the 2025 Venice International Film Festival and went on to screen at the New York Film Festival, BFI London Film Festival (where it won the prize for Best Film), and more. It was granted a special award by the National Society of Film Critics.

Film Forum is pleased to present the U.S. theatrical premiere of Lucrecia Martel’s OUR LAND (NUESTRA TIERRA) on Friday, May 1.
