Persistencia

A forensic journey through an overwhelmed country

2020 · 54 min · Documentary

Human bodies do not disappear. They were kidnapped, buried, torn to pieces. But they are also searched, recovered, and, when forensics achieves the improbable, rebuilt as people. They can only return home when they are identified as dead. An audiovisual journey through the landscapes of an overwhelmed Mexico, between graves and fragments, family and forensic. In search of the human that persists, despite everything.

Directed by Anne Huffschmid
