In 1965-66 the right-wing military regime that seized power in Indonesia slaughtered up to one million people, mainly Communist party activists and supporters, in the most brutal manner. The “democratic” West not only did not protest, but in some cases, such as the US government via the CIA, actually handed over to the butchers lists of activists deemed dangerous. Joshua Oppenheimer has produced an amazing documentary/film in which the perpetrators if the butchery speak and re-enact what they did in the 1960s. “Listen, if we succeed in making this film, It will disprove all the propaganda about the communists being cruel, And show that we were cruel, We are the cruel ones, ha ha ha. (…) “It is not about fear. It’s 40 years ago, so our criminal case has expired. It’s not about fear. It’s about image. The whole society will say: “We always suspected it. They lied about the communists being cruel”. (One of the killers)
