The film dramatizes the true story of H\u00e9ctor Abad G\u00f3mez, a renowned Colombian doctor and human rights activist in 1970s Medell\u00edn, Colombia. Based on the best-selling book “Oblivion: A Memoir” written by H\u00e9ctor Abad Faciolince, G\u00f3mez’s only son, the film recounts Faciolince’s childhood with his father and the circumstances surrounding his father’s murder by Colombian paramilitaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
