Finding Oscar

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.

FINDING OSCAR, directed by Ryan Suffern, produced by Frank Marshall and executive produced by Steven Spielberg brings this insightful and moving story that has changed history to the big screen.

Includes a post-film conversation with Director Ryan Suffern, Producer Frank Marshall, subject Fredy Peccerelli, and Claudia Wiedeman, USC Shoah Director of Education, with a reception to follow.
