Weāre Still Here is a fascinating dive into the political landscape of occupied Latvia, back in the late 1970s. The film centers around Imants Ziedonis and his group, the Dižkoku atbrÄ«votÄji (DAGi), capturing a raw, almost poetic response to oppression. Itās not just a documentary; it feels like a time capsule, with actual film reels and snapshots that draw you into their world. The pacing is contemplative, allowing the viewer to soak in the somber yet resilient atmosphere. Performances by figures like MÄra ZÄlÄ«te and Anna Žīgure showcase an earnestness thatās hard to shake off. The way it blends personal histories with collective memory makes it stand out. Itās a unique exploration of identity and resistance, providing a poignant reflection on a tumultuous time.
