BELÉN
Special Features: Closing Night
Inspired by the powerful true story chronicled in Ana Correa’s acclaimed book “Somos Belén,” BELÉN mrks a striking sophomore directorial effort for Argentine actress Dolores Fonzi (PAULINA, TRUMAN), who also delivers a powerhouse performance in the role. In Argentina’s conservative Tucumán province, a young woman (Camila Plaate, THE SNATCH THIEF) is wrongfully accused of infanticide following an unsuspected pregnancy and miscarriage. Soledad Deza (Fonzi) is the courageous lawyer who takes on the explosive case against all odds. As the trial unfolds, it becomes a flashpoint in a broa lead der battle for reproductive rights, as Soledad confronts a legal system marked by corruption, deeply entrenched patriarchal norms and class bias. A stirring blend of courtroom drama, legal thriller and social commentary, BELÉN shines a rousing light on systemic injustice, celebrating the strength, solidarity and resilience of women, and serving as a topical and timely reminder — both in Argentina, where abortion was finally legalized in 2021, and the United States, where Roe vs. Wade was overturned just a year later — that the fight for women’s reproductive rights is far from over. –Abbie Algar
