The Act of Killing (2012)
(Indonesian, subtitled English)

The Act of Killing is a documentary film following individuals who participated in the Indonesian mass killings of 1965-66, wherein (alleged) communists and people opposed to the New Order regime were tortured and killed. The perpetrators still hold positions of power in the country. In the film, they reenact their killings and talk about their actions openly, following the psychological journey facing the topic.

Join us for a dinner, documentary screening, and open conversations!
