In 2009, a man and two accomplices try to evict members of the Indigenous community of Chuschagasta in northern Argentina. Claiming ownership of the land and armed with guns, they kill the community's leader, Javier Chocobar. The murder is caught on video. It takes nine years of protests before court proceedings are finally opened in 2018. During all this time, the killers remain free. The film combines the voices and photographs of the community with courtroom footage to explore the long history of colonialism and land dispossession that led to this crime.

Landmarks is a landmark in and of itself Go to Full Review Guy Lodge Variety Sep 1
Relative to Martel’s more formally radical fiction films, this is a straightforwardly constructed work, but a disciplined, clear-eyed one. Go to Full Review Jonathan Romney Screen International Sep 1
Landmarks may not strictly be the film that admirers of Martel’s formal radicalism have been waiting for: notwithstanding some eccentricities, it is a relatively conventional work. But it’s very much from the heart, and from the political conscience/ Go to Full Review Paula Vázquez Prieto La Nación (Argentina) 5d

[Landmarks] is a chronicle of the present and past of the Chuschagasta community through the voices of its protagonists, the beauty of the place and the memory of its inhabitants, and those struggles that deserve to be told. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Pablo O. Scholz Clarín 5d
