Disappeared: Mexico's Missing 43
Episode 2
BBC Two | 60mins
A look at what happened in the years after the disappearance of 43 students in Iguala, Mexico. As the parents of the missing continued to search for their sons, renewed hope emerged in 2018 with a new government and the appointment of special prosecutor Omar Gomez Trejo, who spearheaded a fresh investigation into the disappearances.
With exclusive access to Omar Gómez Trejo and Tomás Zerón De Lucio - the fugitive former police chief wanted for his alleged role in a cover-up - this episode reveals evidence of a much wider network of cartel-linked corruption..

"Superbly put together, clear, and damning" - Benjamin T. Smith, author of The Dope: The Real History of the Mexican Drug Trade
"An extraordinary and raw documentary...Truth is stranger than fiction" - Mundiario
