Synopsis
The public trial is set to begin for the murder of Javier Chocobar, a member of the Chuschagasta community who was killed in 2009 in northern Argentina during a land dispute. The video of the murder, leaked online, is increasing pressure on the judicial system. Meanwhile, the voices and photographs of the community in this film reveal the deep-rooted origins of the crime, which stems from a history of land grabbing stretching from colonial times to the present day.
