A group of friends met during #YoSoy132, a Mexican student-led movement that emerged in 2012 to protest media bias and electoral manipulation during Enrique Peña Nieto's presidential campaign. This movement marked a significant political awakening among youth in Mexico and laid the groundwork for subsequent protests, particularly those advocating for justice in the case of the 43 disappeared students from Ayotzinapa.

Reviews

"Courses in Latin American Studies, Political Science or Sociology would all benefit from this documentary. It is especially useful for classes focusing on protest movements, media democratization, student activism, or contemporary Mexican politics." - Video Librarian
