Synopsis

The Disappeared traces a pair of casualties who emerge from the ashes of separate acts of political violence: a woman whose husband is missing in a terrorist attack, and a man who believes his sister was an unidentified victim of the '93 World Trade Center bombing. As the survivors face their own private terrors under the demanding watch of the public eye, each moves forward while working to uncover mysteries that may never be solved. Addressing conspiracies, cataclysm, and the fragile yet resilient nature of the human psyche, Braver excavates the post-trauma experience with a nuanced precision, where hope, understanding, and determination are the building blocks for making sense of what otherwise seems senseless.
