This report gives an historical
overview of the 1965–66 massacres,
persecutions, and continuing
discriminatory policies against
alleged communists and their
descendants in Indonesia. Failure
to address the past could fuel
conflict and even result in
further atrocities. The briefing
concludes that a truth-seeking
process, official historical
clarification, and a genuine
reconciliation process through
judicial proceedings, reparations
and rehabilitation for victims,
are necessary.

"THE ACT OF KILLING is the most
powerful, politically important
film about Indonesia that I
have ever seen. The arrival
of this film is itself a historical
event almost without parallel.
[It] witnesses the bloody destruction
of a foundation of this nation
at the hands of Indonesians
themselves. On top of a mountain
of corpses, our fellow countrymen
rolled out a red carpet for
the growth of gangster capitalism
and political Islam. In documenting
this, The Act of Killing exposes
the hypocrisy at the heart of
this country’s notions of ‘patriotism'
and ‘justice.’ The film achieves
all this thanks to the director’s
genius and audacious choice
of filmmaking method."

and Cultural Critic, Tempo Magazine
