The harrowing and heartrending history of Guatemala's Dos Erres massacre, and the survivors whose lives were permanently evolved by it In 1982, at the height of Guatemala's civil war, 20 military from the army's commando device, called the Kaibiles, invaded the farming village of Dos Erres. Masquerading as leftist guerillas, the squad members lower their way through the tiny town, eradicating more than 250 men, women, and children. Only a few of folks survived. One of these, a young youngster, was followed by Kaibil lieutenant Ramrez and raised by Ramrez's family, who known as him Oscar. Just three years old during the massacre, Oscar was raised unacquainted with his true origins. It wasn't until almost 30 years later, surviving in the suburbs of Boston with a family of his own, that Oscar would learn the truth. Drawn from interviews with massacre survivors, commandos-turned-protected witnesses, lawyers, and forensic anthropologists, Finding Oscar is a powerful, groundbreaking investigation into the Dos Erres massacre and its aftermath. It is an unforgettable profile of the secret abductions of Dos Erres survivors, the mission to bring the perpetrators to justice, and the courage of the Guatemalan people.
