Unforgivable, an eye-opening short film that will air as part of VICE‘s documentary series, The Short List with Suroosh Alvi.From filmmaker Marlén Viñayo, Unforgivable follows the story of Geovany, a former hitman for the infamous 18th Street Gang who is serving his sentence in a Salvadoran isolation cell.
