We Are Still Here

About This Movie

We Are Still Here is a raw, haunting documentary that immerses you in the claustrophobic tension of military occupation. The film centers on Ana and Claudia, who find themselves trapped in a bathroom, showcasing the psychological turmoil of survival. Its pacing is deliberately slow, amplifying the weight of isolation and fear. The performances are gripping, especially as they navigate moments of desperation and fleeting hope. What sets this film apart is its intimate approach to a historical event, echoing personal stories from Alcira Soust's experiences. There's a palpable atmosphere of dread throughout, coupled with understated practical effects that ground the film in reality. It’s not just a recounting of events; it's an exploration of resilience in the face of oppression.
