Finding Oscar
at The Little Cinema
In a forgotten massacre during Guatemala's decades-long civil war, a young boy was spared, only to be raised by one of the soldiers who killed his family. Nearly 30 years after the tragedy, it'll take a dedicated team - from a forensic scientist to a Guatemalan prosecutor - to uncover the truth and bring justice to those responsible.
