INGRID BETANCOURT

10/25/2010 7:30 pm
Co-presented with the TOWN HALL CENTER FOR CIVIC LIFE. Two years after making world headlines with her thrilling release after six years of captivity, Colombian public figure, onetime presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt writes about her disappeared years in her haunting, powerful memoir, Even Silence Has an End: My Six Years of Captivity in the Colombian Jungle (Penguin Press). This is one of the more remarkable accounts of surviving and persevering through captive life. Facing the darkest, Ingrid Betancourt found an inner light which helped her keep center, keep focus, keep faith. She was already an individual of moxie and stature from her public standing in Colombia—including a 2002 run for the presidency—before being abducted by FARC rebels. This is open-eyed, inspiring talk and writing. $5 tickets are available at the door starting at 6:30 p.m. or in advance via www.brownpapertickets.com (1-800-838-3006). Town Hall Seattle is at 1119 Eighth Avenue (at Seneca). Preferred seating for Town Hall members. For more information on this evening, please call Elliott Bay at (206) 624-6600, Town Hall Seattle at (206) 652-4255, or see www.townhallseattle.org.
