Summary
The video presents the testimonies of Sabrina Valenzuela Negro and Pablo Gaona Miranda, who were restored as grandchildren during the search carried out by the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo. Sabrina shares how her doubts about her origin began when she moved to Rosario to study, after having grown up believing she was adopted. A friend encouraged her to take a DNA test, suggesting the possibility of being the child of the disappeared. Meanwhile, Pablo recounts his story, from the initial doubt to the moment he confronted his appropriators and decided to go to the Grandmothers to seek his true identity. Both explain the profound impact of discovering their true identity and how this was both a painful and liberating process. They highlight the importance of the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo in the process and the fundamental role they play in helping others in the same situation. The truth, they explain, is restorative and has allowed them to connect with their roots and biological families. The video emphasizes the importance of personal discovery and identity.
