Overview
In this chilling and groundbreaking documentary, former Indonesian death squad leaders reenact their real-life mass killings in the style of various film genres, from gangster epics to musicals. As they recreate their past atrocities, the line between reality and performance blurs, exposing the lingering impact of Indonesia’s 1965-66 anti-communist purge and the unsettling psychology of its perpetrators.”

Viewing Notes
This documentary is absolutely amazing.
I’m still not entirely sure what to say, but it is inventive, important, and horrifying. My teeth were literally hurting from clenching my jaw so tightly during the last 30 minutes.
Whoa.
