What We Forgot

In the early 1980s, Viviana Gallardo is a teenager growing up in a traditional middle-class family in Costa Rica. Motivated by the context of political revolutions in Central America, Viviana nurtures a strong interest in social justice and becomes involved in radical political organizing. To the surprise of those closest to her, Viviana is accused of participating in a shootout and murdering several police officers. While awaiting trial and unprotected in a cell, she is shot dead by a police officer. Years after her murder, several people close to her allege Viviana's innocence and a conspiracy involving high-ranking power figures to commit the crime.
