Available for over a year

When Sara Méndez was kidnapped and imprisoned for her political activism during Uruguay’s dictatorship, she was horrified to learn that her three-week-old baby son, Simon, had been vanished by agents of the military junta. After her release, she began a desperate search to find Simon. All she knew about him was that he had red hair. With so little to go on, the challenge was overwhelming but Sara wasn't giving up.
