In 2014, students from the Ayotzinapa rural college in Guerrero, Mexico, were attacked by police. Forty-three of them disappeared and were never seen again. Corruption and impunity turned the government investigation into a coverup, igniting a national political scandal. The students are among the estimated 100,000 victims of forced disappearance in Mexico today. Produced by the National Security Archive and Reveal News of the Center for Investigative Reporting, After Ayotzinapa is a podcast that explores the unresolved case. This is a discussion of the podcast, the Ayotzinapa case, and the crisis of forced disappearance in Mexico. Discussion Panel: Nara Milanich, Director, Center for Mexico and Central America Sheila Coronel, Director, Toni Stabile Center for Investigative Journalism Alexandra Delano Alonso, Associate Professor of Global Studies, The New School Omar Gomez Trejo, Special Unit Prosecutor for the Investigation and Litigation of the Ayotzinapa Case Kate Doyle, Senior Analyst
