HISTORY OF A MOVEMENT

Historia de un Movimiento

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.
