A gripping true story of science, justice, and the pursuit of truth in the aftermath of dictatorship
El Equipo chronicles the groundbreaking collaboration between renowned American forensic anthropologist Dr. Clyde Snow and a group of Argentine students in the 1980s. Together, they formed the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team (EAAF) to investigate the forced disappearances during Argentina's military dictatorship.
