The Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo is “a group of Argentine women who gather weekly at the Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires to remember the children that 'disappeared' during the Dirty War (1976-1983). Undeterred by relentless intimidation by the military government, the mothers stand together for justice, as a national conscience, to demand to know the fate of their missed loved ones. Both an overview of Argentina's tumultuous recent past and a riveting profile of a women's resistance movement, las Madre continues to provide an uplifting example of human rights activism and oppositional struggle today.”
