The Disobedients

About This Movie

So, 'The Disobedients' is an intriguing blend of documentary and drama, with a sci-fi twist that’s not immediately obvious. It dives into the raw emotions of rebellion, echoing the 1969 Cordobazo uprising. Alicia, our trolleybus driver, becomes a symbol of resistance against tyrannical control. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative at times, which really allows the weight of those moments to sink in. The atmosphere is thick with tension, but there's also a strange sense of camaraderie among the rebels. The performances—especially from Alicia—carry a grounded authenticity, making the stakes feel very real. It’s this interplay of rebellion and the human experience that sets it apart from traditional narratives. Definitely a film that leaves you pondering long after it ends.
