Film og samtale: Forsvinningene som ryster Mexico — Film and discussion: The disappearances shaking Mexico
Journalist and filmmaker Daniela Rea documents victims and the families left behind after thousands of forced disappearances in Mexico.
Mexican journalist and author Daniela Rea makes documentaries about forced disappearances, the void left by those who are gone, and the consequences for their families. She joins journalist Ingrid Fadnes for a discussion before we watch Rea’s powerful documentary film 'Eternity never surrendered'.
According to official figures, 130,000 people have been reported missing in Mexico. Their families are left distraught and powerless. Disappearances without a trace increased dramatically after the authorities began the war on drugs in 2006. The authorities say the figures are exaggerated, while families of the missing claim that the authorities are downplaying the scale of the problem. How can people fight drug cartels and corrupt authorities?
