Product Overview

In Joshua Oppenheimer's follow-up to 2012's harrowing The Act of Killing, we watch someone whose family suffered under the 1965–1966 Indonesian genocide confront his brother's killers. Hanna Schenkel delves into the documentary's historical and political context, the director's aims, and the dread that comes from depicting such horrific circumstances.
