The documentary will have its world premiere out of competition in the 82nd Venice International Film Festival on 31 August 2025.
Premise
Nuestra Tierra examines issues of land ownership in Argentina and interrogates the role of this history in the murder of Javier Chocobar, a Chuschagasta leader in the struggle for indigenous land rights.[2]
Production
Martel followed the case surrounding the 2000 murder of Javier Chocobar beginning in 2010 and attended the trial of Chocobar's murderer.[3] In 2018, her documentary project about the case was awarded a grant through a joint program of the Sundance Documentary Film Program and the Institute of Contemporary Arts.[4] Nuestra Tierra was also supported with a Pardo prize in the Films After Tomorrow section of the 2020 Locarno Film Festival, which highlighted unfinished productions that were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.[1][5]
