SYNOPSIS
As Adrian Reamey searches for her Chilean birth mother, she discovers an article about an American man stolen as a baby from Chile in the 1980s and trafficked to the United States through an illegal adoption—leaving Adrian to wonder if she, too, was stolen. Her search quickly unravels into a full investigation where a horrifying truth emerges. An estimated 20,000 babies were trafficked internationally during the Pinochet dictatorship at the hands of an elaborate network involving the Chilean military government, judges, hospitals, Catholic priests, orphanages, and social workers.
Along with powerful testimonies from other Chilean adoptees, birth mothers, economists, historical experts, politicians, and government officials in both Chile and the United States, this three-part docuseries provides shocking insight into the extent of the network and coverup, and the influence of the United States Government.
With heart-wrenching interviews, expert testimonies, and emotional reunions, Hola Mamá captures the profound toll of these human rights violations and the ongoing fight for truth, accountability, and justice.
