Title: Vivos Se Los Llevaron
Description: On September 26, 2014, in Iguala, Guerrero, Mexican police kidnapped and forcibly disappeared 43 students from the Ayotzinapa teachers college. Their parents still search for them, proclaiming, "alive you took them, alive we want them." The case of Ayotzinapa has come to represent the failed "war on drugs", the battle for public education and a struggle of those from below to construct a country where they matter. Andalusia Knoll Soloff, along with a Mexican collective of artists and researchers, created this graphic novel that uses first-hand accounts to tell the story of these parents' tireless search to find the Ayotzinapa students and challenge government impunity.
