The premiere in Santiago, Chile, of the moving and powerful documentary Tierra Palestina: Cambio Global (Palestinian Land: Global Change), produced by New Beginning Films, was a resounding success.
Gaza woke the world up, and this was clearly demonstrated by the audience that filled the theatre at the Zoco cultural centre in La Dehesa on 27 November 2025. The audience left the theatre deeply moved, imbued with the global urgency of a dramatic reality that leaves no one indifferent.
Behind this powerful and momentous project are partners and producers Claudia Pérez and Andrea Yarur, who addressed the audience to thank them for their support throughout the arduous process of creating this documentary, not only in Chile but also in Palestine and Spain.
In her speech, Andrea Yarur emphasised that the production company is focused on creating ‘stories that transform’, on ‘projects that can open minds and leave a mark.’ She began by thanking her parents, Juan Carlos Yarur and Patricia Ready, who introduced her to art in all its dimensions from a very young age. She also wanted to honour her grandparents, Carlos Yarur and Mercedes Kattan, who instilled in her a deep love for Palestine, the land of her roots.
Claudia Pérez highlighted the brilliant writing of director Claudio Lara and thanked Juan Carlos Yarur, who trusted the production company blindly and gave them the initial impetus to create Tierra Palestina. ‘It is urgent that we become human’, said Claudia, ‘and help unconditionally’, because what is happening today in Palestine is ‘genocide broadcast live and direct.’ Tierra Palestina, added Claudia, ‘does not seek to explain the inexplicable, but rather to show how we got to this point, to shed light on what so many have wanted to hide, to say with images and with the truth what can no longer be silenced.’
