Indonesia documentary Joshua Oppenheimer
A mind-bending film...deeply troubling and very important.
Unrepentant murderers who have thrived in Indonesia since killing all the 'communists' in the 60's with US help and approval, stage their crimes for the camera...and us. They operate in what's openly called a gangster world...there is footage here of these pigs shaking down cringing business owners. The people they killed were intellectuals and humanists...people who were striving for a better life for all citizens.
Most of these guys have no qualms about what they did. They acknowledge that murder is wrong but hey - that was then, this is now. Perhaps to give the audience some sense of hope the director focuses on one of the gangsters who is plagued with apparent guilt. They have established a 3 million strong nazi youth organization to ensure the gangster system continues.
A deeply disturbing film...unique in film history...should be seen and discussed everywhere by all ages.
