Searching For Argentina's Disappeared
Ninety-two year-old Mirta Baravalle spent decades searching for her missing daughter and the grandchild she has never met. She is one of the 'Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo'.
In April 1977 a group of women in Argentina held the first ever public demonstration to demand the release of thousands of opponents of the military regime. It was the start of a long campaign by the women, who became known as the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo. Mike Lanchin has been hearing from ninety-two year-old Mirta Baravalle who has spent decades searching for her missing daughter and son-in-law, and for the grandchild she has never met.
