The Grandmothers Who Defied a Dictatorship to Find Their Grandchildren with Haley Cohen Gilliland

What happens when a group of grandmothers challenges a brutal dictatorship—and wins? In this episode, Haley Cohen Gilliland, journalist and director of the Yale Journalism Initiative, recounts the extraordinary true story behind her book A Flower Traveled in My Blood. She reveals how Argentina’s “Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo” used courage, persistence, and groundbreaking DNA science to find grandchildren stolen during the country’s military dictatorship. We explore the moral courage behind their movement, the role of genetics in restoring identity, and the lasting impact of their fight for truth. It’s a powerful reminder that even those without traditional power can change history. -- Guy Kawasaki is on a mission to make you remarkable.
