- Summary:
- A documentary on the efforts of the Guatemalan Forensic Anthropology Foundation. The Foundation is involved in excavating mass graves, primarily for identifying victims of political violence, those who were killed as part of the innumerable army-led acts of violence towards the indigenous people. Leaving an estimated 160,000 dead, violence still endures, in the case of Foundation workers, death made towards its workers. The film also documents more recent humanitarian efforts of the Foundation, in response to the mudslides caused by tropical storm Stan in 2005.
