The St. Olaf football team takes on Augsburg at 1 p.m. Joyce Horman speaks out on Chile, Sept. 20 SEPTEMBER 20, 2002 — Joyce Horman, founder of the Charles Forman Truth Project, has a compelling story to tell. She will share her views on Chile with St. Olaf and members of the local community on Friday, Sept. 20 at 3:30 p.m. in the Viking Theater. Joyce Horman's husband, Charles, was kidnapped and killed by Chilean security forces shortly after the 1973 coup by Augusto Pinochet. Charles Horman?s story was documented in the 1982 Academy Award-winning film Missing, directed by Costa-Gavras and starring Jack Lemmon and Sissy Spacek. Missing questions the U.S. policy toward Latin America with its emphasis on "internal security" and its alignment with fascist regimes that protect American business interests. The film implies that the CIA and the United States Embassy knew of Horman?s kidnapping and recent declassified documents appear to substantiate Missing?s version of the events. Joyce Horman has devoted her life to bringing her late husband's killers to justice. The latest attempts in Chile to make former dictator Pinochet accountable for the disappearance of more than 3,000 Chileans in the coup?s aftermath have revitalized Joyce Horman?s hope that the full story of her husband?s murder will finally come to light. Her visit is sponsored by the St. Olaf History Dept. and the Kloeck-Jenson Foundation for Peace and Justice Studies.
