Based on his son's acclaimed memoir, El Olvido que Seremos (Memories of My Father) dramatizes the life of Héctor Abad Gómez, a prominent doctor and human rights activist during the polarized and violent Medellín of the 1970s. A loving family man, Héctor was equally devoted to the well-being of Colombia's underprivileged children.
