About
Over a decade ago, the Mexican government declared a war against organized crime, which ended up targeting civilians. An estimated 360,000 people have died since 2006. While searching for their disappeared family members, a group of mothers discovered mass graves in the small towns of Jojutla and Tetelcingo, in the state of Morelos. It became evident that the Mexican authorities were complicit in many of these disappearances. Lina, Angy and Edith and other family members of disappeared loved ones participated in the exhumation of more than 200 bodies. The documentary accompanies the women as they train in forensic science and dig up the bodies of the disappeared. Their investigation reveals a chilling reality; Mexican authorities were involved in the disappearances and surreptitiously buried the bodies in mass graves. This powerful documentary profiles the solidarity, courage and tenacity of these women.
