The film, 12.511 Rosendo Radilla Case: An Open Wound from Mexico’s Dirty War, was produced by WITNESS and the Comisión Mexicana de Defensa y Promoción de los Derechos Humanos. It focuses on the disappearance of Rosendo Radilla, a respected community leader who was arrested on August, 25, 1974, in a military checkpoint near Acapulco.  To this day, his case remains unsolved and it is currently before the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.  This documentary looks at the efforts of his daughter, Tita, and others, in their continued fight for truth and justice.
