00:00Almost ten years. Ten years of coming every month, tirelessly, to the Zócalo, Mexico
00:14City's central square. And asking the same question, where are the 43 students?
00:22Once again, the only thing we want to know is, where are our children? They took them
00:29alive.
00:37It's January and Maria has been camping here for a week with parents and students from
00:43rural teacher training schools.
00:48They've come from all over the country in solidarity.
00:51We're cold, we're not eating well. Sometimes we don't sleep. But for us, the most important
00:59thing is that one day, we learn the truth.
01:04Maria's son, José Eduardo, was just 19 when he disappeared.
01:28His families came to demand a meeting with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
01:34Despite demonstrating for several days, he won't receive them.
01:40On the 26th of September 2014, our children were chased by the local police, the state
01:46police, the federal police, and also the army. We know that the army took some of those students
01:53away. But when investigators tried to find out what the army did that night, they were
01:59blocked.
02:00A group of independent investigators reported that several hundred documents have gone missing
02:07from the army's records. The role the military played that night is still the investigation's
02:13central question.
