Spanish w/ English subtitles. Ryan Suffern (Guatemala/US), 2017. 90min. >>> In a forgotten massacre during Guatemala's decades-long civil war, a young boy was spared, only to be raised by one of the very soldiers who killed his family. Nearly 30 years after the tragedy, it will take a dedicated team - from a forensic scientist to a young Guatemalan prosecutor - to uncover the truth and bring justice to those responsible, by finding the missing boy named Oscar.
