Join us for the Cinema Tucsón film screening of THE RESERVE on Wednesday, April 22nd, at the Fox Tucson Theatre, starting at 7pm.
(Pablo Pérez Lombardini, Mexico/Qatar, 2025, 92 min. In Spanish with English subtitles)
Based on real testimonies, The Reserve, the striking debut by Pablo Pérez Lombardini, is a gripping environmental thriller about a determined forest ranger in the highlands of Chiapas who rallies her community to expel a group of invading loggers from their protected reserve—only to unleash a far greater threat. As fear takes hold and the community turns against her, Julia is left to confront the danger alone, facing death threats and the gradual loss of everything she holds dear—except her dignity. A standout at the Telluride Film Festival, the film won Best Mexican Film and Best Actress at the Morelia Film Festival, shedding light on the urgent, ongoing challenges facing conservationists across Latin America, while offering a haunting portrayal of strength, sacrifice, and dignity amid the fight for environmental justice.
