A woman's search for her missing son leads to the defeat of a military dictatorship and inspires a new generation of women to fight for their freedoms.
ABOUT THE FILM
The personal tragedy suffered by Nora Cortiñas, a former suburban housewife with no prior political experience, fuels her unwavering determination and intrepid activism during Argentina’s 1970s dictatorship, when the military regime kidnaps and “disappears” her activist son Gustavo and thousands more. She co-founds the renowned Mothers of Plaza de Mayo resistance movement in 1977 before emerging on the country’s political scene, time and time again over 4 decades, as a stalwart of human rights, including in 2018 during the fight to legalize abortion.
