August 30 is International Day of the Disappeared, which is an annual commemoration day to draw attention to the fate of those who have been imprisoned and missing under poor conditions unknown to their family or legal representatives. With this day in mind, the theme for today will be films about those who have been missing or imprisoned away from their families...
1 Missing (1982) Director: Costa Govras
Based on the real life story of a father (Jack Lemmon) who attempts to find his son who has gone missing in Chile; film won an Academy Award for Best Writing, and Jack Lemmon and Sissy Spacek were nominated for their outstanding performances...
2 Midnight Express (1978) Director: Alan Parker
Film based on the true story of a man (Brad Davis) who ends up in a Turkish prison for drug smuggling; won Oscars for Best Writing and Best Music...
I hope that the above list provides hours of cinematic entertainment-enjoy!
