U.S. Theatrical Release of WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED

WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED / NO NOS MOVERÁN
A film by Pierre Saint Martin Castellanos
(Mexico, 2024, 100 min. In Spanish with English subtitles)

Winner of four Ariel Awards—for Best First Feature, Original Screenplay, Actress, and Breakthrough Performance—and selected as Mexico’s official submission for the Best International Film Oscar, We Shall Not Be Moved tells the story of Socorro—played by Luisa Huertas in a tour-de-force performance—a retired lawyer consumed by her obsession to find the soldier who killed her brother during the student protests of October 2, 1968, when demands for democracy and justice were brutally silenced in Mexico City’s Tlatelolco Square.

Nearly six decades later, her relentless pursuit has fractured her relationships with her sister, Esperanza, and her son, Jorge. When a new clue emerges, Socorro sets out on a perilous quest for vengeance, putting her family, her legacy, and her own life in jeopardy. Shot in striking black and white, director Pierre Saint Martin Castellanos delivers a powerful and intimate reflection on the enduring wounds of Mexico’s modern history.
