In the 1970s, the ruling junta in Argentina disappeared thousands of people, including pregnant women. It became clear that they waited for those women to give birth before murdering them and giving their babies to other families. This is the story of the group of grandmothers who tirelessly sought out their grandchildren for decades. I thought the first part was poorly organized, but then it smooths out and is very good.

Argentina's long history of political turmoil is examined as various dictatorships, and Facist regimes plagued the country. As citizens rebelled and staged a coup, many of its people and their offspring were abducted and disappeared. In the late 70's, a group of grandmothers, Las Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo, organized and challenged the government asking for questions on their missing grandchildren. This is their story.
