Film Forum will host the U.S. theatrical premiere of Our Land (Nuestra Tierra), the first feature documentary from acclaimed Argentine filmmaker Lucrecia Martel, beginning Friday, May 1.

In her latest work, Martel (Zama, The Headless Woman, La Ciénaga) turns her focus to the 2009 murder of Indigenous activist Javier Chocobar, who was killed while defending his community’s land from outside interests. The documentary examines both the killing and the broader, ongoing displacement of the Chuschagasta people, weaving together footage from the long-delayed trial, firsthand testimony from community members, and sweeping aerial views of Argentina’s Tucumán province.

Blending investigative storytelling with a deeply personal lens, Our Land highlights the complexities of justice, land rights, and systemic inequality. The case itself, which relies in part on contested cell-phone footage, underscores the challenges faced by Indigenous communities seeking accountability.

The film premiered at the 2025 Venice International Film Festival and later screened at the New York Film Festival and BFI London Film Festival, where it received the award for Best Film. It also earned a special honor from the National Society of Film Critics.

The official trailer for Our Land is now available.
