Overview

• Nuestra Tierra marks Martel’s first feature-length documentary after more than a decade of research and filming.
• It investigates the 2009 murder of diaguita leader Javier Chocobar in Tucumán and the subsequent public oral trial.
• The film incorporates leaked crime footage and testimonies from the Chuschagasta community to expose centuries-long patterns of territorial usurpation.
• The 122-minute feature was co-written by Martel and María Alché with Gabriela Uassouf assisting direction under a six-nation co-production.
• Venice’s 82nd edition will screen the documentary out of competition from August 27 to September 6, spotlighting Argentina’s robust festival lineup.
