This film was proposed by our member Halina Sillence who writes: 'The Act of Killing is a profound piece of work (which I also never got to see in the cinema). Wouldn’t complain about a follow up with The Look of Silence either!'
Through Joshua Oppenheimer’s work filming perpetrators of the Indonesian genocide, a family of survivors discovers how their son was murdered and the identity of the men who killed him. The youngest brother is determined to break the spell of silence and fear under which the survivors live, and so confronts the men responsible for his brother’s murder – something unimaginable in a country where killers remain in power.
