Events Commemorate 35th Anniversary of the Chilean Coup

September 11-12
Mezes Auditorium, Room 1.306 and Benson Library, Rare Books and Manuscripts Reading Room
5:30 PM

The Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice and the Nettie Lee Benson Latin American Collection present two events Sept. 11-12 to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the Chilean coup d'etat and honor the donation of Joyce Horman's archives to the Benson Collection.

On Sept. 11, the event will feature a screening of "Missing," a film based on Joyce and Ed Horman's investigation of the disappearance of their son, Charles Horman. The film was banned in Chile during Pinochet's regime and was challenged in a number of lawsuits by U.S. officials portrayed in the film.

The screening will be followed by a question and answer forum with Joyce Horman and Peter Kornbluh, Director of the Chile Documentation Project of the National Security Archives. Kornbluh helped Horman secure many of the classified documents that played a vital role in her research.

The panelists will discuss the Chilean coup, the process of making and defending the film, and its impact on bringing awareness to human rights abuses in Chile.

On September 12, the discussion will continue at 12:00 p.m. in the Benson Rare Books and Manuscripts Reading Room with a panel entitled "Pinochet and the Pursuit of Justice: Chile Thirty-Five Years Later." Horman and Kornbluh will be joined by Elizabeth Lira Kornfeld. Kornfeld is Chile's leading human rights psychologist and Director of the Center of Ethics at Universidad Jesuita Alberto Hurtado in Santiago, Chile.
