To See You Again

While Lina, Angy and Edith were searching for their disappeared daughters and relatives in Morelos, Mexico, they discovered that the District Attorney secretly buried the bodies of over 200 people murdered during a failed war against crime, which actually targeted civilians. The film follows their training in forensic tasks and their participation in the exhumation of the bodies, so that the disappeared may return home. Their findings reveal a breathtaking reality: the Mexican authorities are involved in the disappearances by secretly burying people in hidden common graves.

Impact Statement
We want to raise international awareness of the forensic and disappearance crisis in our country, through screenings with NGOs, multilateral organizations, journalists, forensic experts and scholars abroad. The film has the potential to channel empathy towards the search for lost family members led by mothers and relatives in Mexico, connecting them with other human rights movements and activists abroad. We need help to urge Mexican authorities to identify more than 38,000 bodies buried by the authorities, so they may return to their loved ones, and inform us about any other unknown burial sites throughout the country. International visibility and support will help us strengthen the negotiations with the state and federal governments regarding the case of the illegal mass grave in Jojutla, Morelos.
