When tens of thousands of daughters, husbands, future doctors, and scholars were silently abducted by government agents during Argentina's “Dirty War,” the country vibrated with accusations of torture and murder. The mothers of these “disappeared” took to the streets to pursue their children's dreams of social justice. Lourdes Portillo, together with Susana Muñoz, tells the story of how a band of fourteen undefeated mothers grew into a popular resistance movement. Their film is preceded by two provocative shorts that detail how historical memory weighs upon the present.
