“It’s been six years. It feels like yesterday.”

Almost a thousand people enter Mexico daily, heading for the US. Some never make it – they are kidnapped, imprisoned or killed along the way. Each year, in a bid to find their lost loved ones, a group of women from Central America travels together across Mexico, raising their voices in protest, publicising photographs of the missing and sharing each other’s pain. This is their story.
