They’re Here + Forest Up in the Mountain

About

They’re Here follows anonymous residents of Minneapolis as they flee and resist the paramilitary occupation of their city. In the tradition of dystopian cinema, it is set against a wintry landscape where masked agents abduct children. The starting point of Forest Up in the Mountain is the murder of young Mapuche Rafael Nahuel in Argentine Patagonia. Based on judicial records, official documents, and forensic archives, the film presents the forest as a witness and space of resistance, where the traces of violence against Indigenous people speak beyond the court and shake official narratives.
