B/N | 25:00 There are 40,000 missing people in Mexico. The government has offered virtually no response, and the state itself is directly involved in most cases. To address this situation, over 65 collectives have been created in more than 20 states across the country, consisting primarily of mothers who have had to withstand intimidation, harassment, and extortion as they search for their loved ones.

It also shows us that the only way to defend ourselves from horror is collectivity and solidarity. Direction: Rabasa; Diego Participation year at FICM: 2019
