Belén
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, the fearless lawyer who takes on the case. In a conservative region of Argentina, Julieta's trial becomes a flashpoint for the ongoing fight for women's 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 in this gripping film based on Ana Correa’s Somos Belén. An Amazon MGM Studios release.
