In 2014, students from the Ayotzinapa rural college in Guerrero, Mexico, were attacked by police. Forty-three of them disappeared and were never seen again. Corruption and impunity turned the government investigation into a coverup, igniting a national political scandal. The students are among the estimated 100,000 victims of forced disappearance in Mexico today.
Produced by the National Security Archive and Reveal News of the Center for Investigative Reporting, After Ayotzinapa is a podcast that explores the unresolved case. Join us for a discussion of the podcast, the Ayotzinapa case, and the crisis of forced disappearance in Mexico.
The event will be in-person with broadcast via YouTube.
