I remember this movie, but I couldn't remember
the name of it or which country Horman was executed in. I remember Lemmon searching for his son, hoping he was still alive, but discovering he had been murdered along with hundreds of other on a soccer pitch in a stadium.
I was young and unaware of the broader geopolitics of the Cold War era. This was, after Vietnam, my introduction to the nasty dealings of our government.
Thank you for reviving it here.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
