We journey to the heart of Mexico’s devastating crisis of the disappeared. With over 120,000 people officially missing — and experts estimating the number could be closer to 200,000 — the scale of human loss is staggering. Hollie recounts her recent reporting trip, where she met mothers who have dedicated their lives to finding their children, often at great personal risk and without any government support.
From cartel kidnappings to government complicity, this episode dives into the painful realities of life just south of the U.S. border. We also explore the implications of the U.S. labeling Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations and what, if any, hope that brings for the families left behind.
Heartbreaking, urgent, and often overlooked, this is a story of courage, corruption, and the relentless pursuit of justice in the face of unimaginable loss.
