Sept. 26 marks the first anniversary of the disappearance of 43 students from the Ayotzinapa teachers' college in Mexico. The students were attacked by local police and subsequently went missing from Iguala in the southern Mexican state of Guerrero.

We speak to two journalists who have closely investigated the disappearances.
