In her first documentary feature, Argentine auteur Lucrecia Martel investigates the 2009 murder of Indigenous activist Javier Chocobar and the systematic dispossession of the Chuschagasta people he represented. Martel alternates between footage of this controversial, long-delayed (9 years after the incident) trial, which hinges on a shaky cell phone video; testimonials from Chuschagasta community members; and aerial shots of the stunning Tucumán province Chocobar fought to defend.
