• Martel incorporates unedited cellphone footage recorded by Amín, extensive courtroom access, and hovering drone images to build the case’s visual record.
• It situates the murder within longstanding battles over ancestral territory and questions the contested legal recognition of the Chuschagasta community.
• Coverage notes that all three defendants were ultimately convicted, yet none are currently imprisoned, underscoring an accountability gap.
