Guac: A Portrait of Love, Joy & Tragedy

On Valentine’s Day, 2018, a gunman walked into the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and killed 17 people. Among the dead was Joaquin “Guac” Oliver. Joaquin’s father - and now activist - Manuel Oliver transforms his grief into a joyous celebration of life and advocacy. From pepperoni bacon pizza to air guitar solos, Oliver paints a vivid portrait of a vibrant life cut short. Guac: A Portrait of Love, Joy & Tragedy doesn’t just tell one family’s story - it speaks to anyone who has loved, lost or dreamed of making a difference. Shot in front of a live audience at the world-famous Public Theatre in New York City, Guac: A Portrait of Love, Joy & Tragedy brings out the inner activist in all of us.
