On September 26, 2014, forty-three students from the Ayotzinapa Normal School went missing in Guerrero, one of Mexico’s poorest and most violent states. Six months later, only one student’s remains have been identified. Documentary film by Matt Black of The New Yorker. In Spanish with English subtitles: http://video.newyorker.com/...
Article from The New Yorker by Sky Dylan-Robbins, editor of the film: The Monster in the Mountains
Excerpt: "In the indigenous communities of La Montaña and the Costa Chica, where many of the students lived, the disappearances are only one example of the crime, corruption, and impunity that plague the region. As abel Herrara Hernandez, a human-rights activist, said, 'Here in the mountains . . . you live with the demons.'
"This short film, based on the work of the photographer Matt Black, shows how families of the missing are coping with the still unexplained loss of their loved ones, and how citizens are struggling to protect themselves, and to preserve hope."
