In Our Land, director Lucrecia Martel (The Headless Woman) explores the 2009 murder of Javier Chocobar, a member of Argentina’s Indigenous Chuschagasta community who tried to defend them from being forcibly evicted by a local landowner and two former police officers. Shockingly, the 68-year-old Chocobar and two others were shot and killed, but the trial did not occur until 2018. The documentary triangulates the murder trial, the lives of Chocobar and the Chuschagasta people, and the colonialist legacy of land and property theft across Latin America.
