The search for 'the disappeared' in Mexico's drugs war.

In Mexico, communities search for missing loved ones amidst a backdrop of violence fueled by drug cartels, corrupt police, and military forces. Over 27,000 have disappeared, and more than 120,000 have died in the past decade. The government struggles to respond, and mass graves are discovered.
