It masterfully blends drama, satire, and Mexican dark comedy elements to create a compelling narrative that subverts expectations. Luisa Huertas shines in a standout performance reminiscent of Kathy Bates, and the film\u2019s unexpected turns will make for a thought-provoking and entertaining experience.<\/p>\n<p>A mature lawyer lives with an obsession to identify the soldiers who killed her brother in 1968 during the Tlatelolco massacre. After decades of waiting, she receives the missing clue to find the culprit, leading her to conjure an absurd revenge plan that puts her assets, family, and even her own life at risk.<\/p>\n<p>This Mexican debut film by director Pierre Saint Martin is shot with hypnotic black-and-white cinematography. While it may sound like a thriller, <em>We Shall Not Be Moved<\/em> is a fable offering a unique take on historical trauma and personal healing. Mexican actress Luisa Huertas, in one of the best roles of her career, adds humanity and sensitivity to her character, paying homage to all families trapped in mourning for the death of a relative during armed conflict.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\" col-12 col-md-2\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t<a class=\"btn btn-primary btn-lg\"\n\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/ucf.qualtrics.com\/jfe\/form\/SV_cU4L2XzIonCHuZw\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\tRSVP\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<section id=\"suprema\" class=\"ucf-section ucf-section-ff-25-suprema auto-section\" data-section-link-title=\"La Suprema\" aria-label=\"La Suprema\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jumbotron jumbotron-fluid bg-inverse text-inverse mt-0 mb-0 pt-4 pb-0\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"container\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\n<h2 class=\"heading-underline\">La Suprema<\/h2>\n<p class=\"lead\">Felipe Holgu\u00edn Caro\/Colombia\/2023\/83 min<br \/>\n<strong>Date<\/strong>: Sunday, October 5, 2025<br \/>\n<strong>Time<\/strong>: 5:00 PM<br \/>\n<strong>Location<\/strong>: UCF\/ Main Campus\/ Nicholson COM Room NSC 101<\/p>\n<p class=\"lead\">View on the Virtual Platform: One week streaming from 10\/06\/25 to 10\/13\/25<\/p>\n\t\t\t<a class=\"btn btn-primary\"\n\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/pragda.com\/film\/la-suprema\/\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\tPragda | La Suprema\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\n<div style=\"padding: 56.25% 0 0 0; position: relative;\"><iframe style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;\" title=\"La Suprema - Trailer subtitled in English\" data-src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/934677735?badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/api\/player.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"jumbotron jumbotron-fluid bg-secondary pt-4 pb-0\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"container\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\" col-12 col-md-10\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\n<h4>SYNOPSIS<\/h4>\n<p>Spanish with English subtitles<br \/>\nWith Elizabeth Mart\u00ednez, Antonio Jim\u00e9nez, Pabla Florez, Ana Victoria Rodr\u00edguez, Juan Jos\u00e9 Jim\u00e9nez, Mois\u00e9s Ram\u00edrez, Miguel Angel Fontalvo, Domingo Zabaleta<\/p>\n<p>Teeming with irrepressible energy, <em>La Suprema<\/em> takes us back to 2001 Colombia and to a tiny and remote village in the Caribbean region far from any beach and seemingly lost in time.<\/p>\n<p>Laureana is a strong-willed teenager who\u2019s not about to conform to what society or her abuela have in store for her. When she finds out via the newspaper that her estranged uncle is days away from fighting in a boxing world championship in Venezuela, she ignites a spark that will quickly get the whole town on board with watching the match live on national television. The problem? It may be the 21st century, but the village has no electricity and no one has a TV set.<\/p>\n<p>Laureana enlists the help of Efra\u00edn, the local trainer who discovered her uncle years ago.

But when Val\u2019s estranged daughter Jessica suddenly shows up, the unspoken but intrinsic class barriers that exist within the home are thrown into disarray. Jessica is smart, confident, and ambitious, and refuses to accept the upstairs\/downstairs dynamic, testing relationships and loyalties and forcing everyone to reconsider what family really means.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\" col-12 col-md-2\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t<a class=\"btn btn-primary btn-lg\"\n\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/ucf.qualtrics.com\/jfe\/form\/SV_cU4L2XzIonCHuZw\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\tRSVP\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-fullscreen.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-8870","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
