YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAs we continue our look at the 40th anniversary of the U.S.backed military coup in Chile and the ongoing efforts by the loved ones of its victims to seek justice, we turn to the case of Charles Horman. A 31yearold American journalist and filmmaker, Horman was in Chile during the coup and wrote about U.S. involvement in overthrowing the democratically elected president, Salvador Allende. Shortly after, he was abducted by Chilean soldiers and later killed. Horman's story was told in the 1982 Oscarnominated film, "Missing," which follows his father, Edmund Horman, going to Chile to search for his son. We're joined by Charles Horman's widow, Joyce Horman, who filed a criminal suit against Pinochet for his role in her husband's death, and established the Charles Horman Truth Project to support ongoing investigations into human rights violations during Pinochet's regime. We're also joined by Peter Weiss, vice president of the board of the Center for Constitutional Rights, who represented the Horman family in their case against Kissinger and others for Charles Horman's death.
