Description: "In 1985, the film LAS MADRES: THE MOTHERS OF PLAZA DE MAYO profiled the Argentinian mothers' movement to demand to know the fate of 30,000 "disappeared" sons and daughters. Now three decades later, Argentina's courageous Grandmothers, or "Abuelas", have been searching for their grandchildren: the children of their sons and daughters who disappeared during Argentina's "dirty war." The women in ABUELAS are seeking answers about their children that nobody else will give, answers about a generation that survived, but were kidnapped and relocated to families linked with the regime that murdered their parents.  Argentine filmmaker Noemi Weis beautifully documents the grandmothers' painstaking work and its results - dramatic, inspiring and sometimes controversial, as the women make contact with grandchildren who have grown up living lies created by their adoptive parents. Their tireless work continues today: the justice they are seeking for their children's murder, their drive to find their grandchildren, and their international status speaking out for family reunification." -- WMM website.
