Saturday, August 12, 2:00 p.m. | After American journalist Charlie Horman mysteriously disappears during the 1973 coup in Chile, his father Ed (Jack Lemmon) travels to the country to join Charlie’s wife Beth (Sissy Spacek) in the search to find him. Stymied by absurd bureaucratic red tape and surrounded by tense political unrest, Ed and Beth lean on one another in grief and fear as they slowly uncover the truth about Charlie’s fate. Based on the true story and directed by Costa-Gavras (Z) with courage and precision, both Lemmon and Spacek give commanding, award-nominated performances in this haunting political thriller. Presented in collaboration with the Committee to Commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Coup in Chile and the Uri-Eichen Gallery, as part of their months-long exhibitions in memory of the coup, MISSING will be followed by a panel discussion featuring Charlie Horman’s widow, Joyce Horman, alongside Janice Teruggi, sister of Frank Teruggi, another American victim of the coup.
