DISAPPEARANCE RESOURCES

Night and Fog (French: Nuit et brouillard) is a 1956 French documentary short film. Directed by Alain Resnais, it was made ten years after the liberation of Nazi concentration camps. The title is taken from the Nacht und Nebel (German for "Night and Fog") program of abductions and disappearances decreed by Nazi Germany. The documentary features the abandoned grounds of Auschwitz and Majdanek established in occupied Poland while describing the lives of prisoners in the camps. Night and Fog was made in collaboration with scriptwriter Jean Cayrol, a survivor of the Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp. The music of the soundtrack was composed by Hanns Eisler.

Largometraje documental sobre la historia del movimiento de Madres de Plaza de Mayo, dirigido y producido por Susana Blaustein Muñoz y Lourdes Portillo, y nominado a los premios Óscar 1985. A través de los testimonios de madres y familiares de detenidos desaparecidos, y de personalidades protagonistas del período abordado, el film realiza un contrapunto entre la historia argentina durante la última dictadura cívico militar -sus antecedentes y consecuencias-, y la respuesta de un grupo de madres que decide enfrentarse a la política sistemática de represión y desaparición de personas, transcendiendo las fronteras del propio país y convirtiéndose en un icono mundial en la lucha por los derechos humanos. De esta manera, entre otros temas, los ideales de la juventud militante de los '70; el peso del peronismo en la Argentina; los mecanismos de auto-legitimación de la dictadura; sus métodos de secuestro, detención, tortura y muerte; el rol de la política internacional; la posición de la cúpula Iglesia Católica Argentina, y los claroscuros del gobierno de Raúl Alfonsín en torno al juzgamiento componen el hilo argumental de la narración. Esta edición del metraje en inglés no contiene el inicio con los créditos. Además, la presente copia se encuentra muy deteriorada en origen.

In the ensuing clash, six students were fatally shot and 43 were abducted. Investigations over the following weeks led to the startling allegations that the police had acted at the behest of the local mayor, and had turned over the abducted students to members of the Guerreros Unidos cartel. All 43 students are now feared dead. The case has come to represent the negative feeling of the Mexican public toward the state of justice and the rule of law in Mexico. The events have now galvanized the survivors of the attack and the disappeared students' parents. Nationwide demonstrations have increased in intensity, and recently led to government buildings in the state of Guerrero to be set on fire. VICE News travels to Guerrero, ground-zero for the protest movement that has erupted since the disappearance of the students. We meet with survivors of the Iguala police attack and parents of the missing students, accompany volunteer search parties, and watch as protests against the government and president reach boiling point.

In one of the many ambitious scenes from “Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths” (streaming on Netflix), the lead character, Silverio Gama (Daniel Giménez Cacho), comes across a woman who has collapsed on a Mexico City sidewalk. Most passers-by don’t seem to notice her. When someone asks if she is dead, she replies, “I’m not dead. I’m missing.” Soon after, other individuals, one by one, begin collapsing on the sidewalk and in the streets. By the end of this fever dream of a sequence, hundreds of people are on the ground. Narrating the moment, the director Alejandro G. Iñárritu said he wanted to call attention to the thousands of Mexicans who have gone missing over the last decade. He said the scene required 300 extras along with 20 dancers who, guided by the choreography of Priscila Hernández, fell in a precise way that seemed like a dangerous collapse.
