The Act of Killing has just hit UK cinemas. It is without a doubt one of the best documentaries I have ever seen. At the centre of the film is Anwar Congo, a member of the Indonesian paramilitary, and a former leader of an Indonesian Death Squad in Jakarta. In 1965 over 1 million ethnic Chinese and communists were brutally murdered by groups led by Death Squads. Director Joshua Oppenheimer challenges Anwar, and a group of unrepentant executioners to make a film in which they reenact the murders which they committed. It is terrifying, fascinating and like nothing else!
Check out the trailer here.
“The Act of Killing is about killers who have won, and the sort of society they have built. Unlike ageing Nazis or Rwandan génocidaires, Anwar and his friends have not been forced by history to admit they participated in crimes against humanity. Instead, they have written their own triumphant history, becoming role models for millions of young paramilitaries. The Act of Killing is a journey into the memories and imaginations of the perpetrators, offering insight into the minds of mass killers. And The Act of Killing is a nightmarish vision of a frighteningly banal culture of impunity in which killers can joke about crimes against humanity on television chat shows, and celebrate moral disaster with the ease and grace of a soft shoe dance number.” Read more here.
