Lucrecia Martel "Nuestra Tierra"

Acclaimed filmmaker Lucrecia Martel joins Kate Wolf to discuss her documentary Nuestra Tierra, which follows a 2018 trial in Argentina over a crime in the remote northwestern region of Tucaman. In a showdown between a local landowner and the indigenous people of the area, a man named Javier Chacobar was shot and killed and two other community members were severely wounded; the crime footage was captured on video and shared widely on the internet. The trial's larger subtext was the rights of indigenous communities to their own land. Using drone shots as well as more intimate camera work and archival photographs, Martel presents a survey of this land, its people, and its history from colonialism to the present, portraying the often unspoken conflicts that have plagued Argentina since its founding and which reverberate throughout the Americas to this day.
