Description

Today on Sojourner Truth, a one-hour special with activist and journalist Laura Carlsen, who is based in Mexico City.

An in-depth look at how women migrants in Central America, mothers in search of their children lost along the migrant trail, have organized themselves and now have joined with mothers from the continent of Africa and other countries to form a global movement of mothers of the disappeared.

We look into the history of the mothers of the disappeared in Argentina and their global impact.

We also discuss Zapatista women and the new feminism. They recently held their first international women's gathering of politics, art, culture and sport for women in struggle.

And, the migrant caravans that have made their way from Honduras and other Central American countries to the United States.

Finally, the new NAFTA and its wider implications and the impact of Donald Trump's bashing of Mexicans on binationals living in Mexico.
