Learn Spanish with Stories

Just over 10 years ago, on September 26, 2014, a tragedy occurred in Guerrero, Mexico. 43 students heading to a protest in the capital vanished off the face of the Earth — or actually, they were taken off the face of the Earth.
But nobody knew where, and nobody seemed to know who had taken them. All there was, was a flimsy explanation that was quickly accepted as "the official truth" by many.
However, the families wouldn't give up, and the country was soon to light on fire as everyone, inside and outside Mexico, demanded to know what happened to the Ayotzinapa 43.
In this sad but hopeful story of how the common people can go up against even the most powerful government and win, if they have the self-belief, we discover the fates of the missing Ayozinapa 43, while learning Spanish as a native!
