Academy Awards® Contenders Screening Series—Belén and Post-Screening Conversation

LACMA members are invited to join FILM at LACMA for a special screening of Belén, followed by a conversation with writer and director Dolores Fonzi and producer Liticia Cristir.

Belén is a movie based on the true story that sparked an international movement, chronicling the harrowing case of Julieta, a young woman falsely accused of infanticide, and Soledad Deza (Dolores Fonzi), the fearless lawyer who takes on the highly controversial, explosive case. Belén takes us to Tucumán, a conservative region of Argentina, where Julieta's trial becomes a flashpoint for the ongoing fight for women's reproductive rights. As Soledad faces off against a corrupt, classist, and patriarchal legal system, Julieta's story ignites a groundswell of outrage and solidarity, galvanizing an unstoppable movement for justice and bodily autonomy.

Based on Ana Correa's book Somos Belén, this film is equal parts gripping courtroom drama, searing critique of systemic injustice, and celebration of resilience and sisterhood.
