A companion piece to the earlier Act of Killing is more personal, since it focuses on the protagonist's (an Indonesian optometrist) quest to find the truth abut his brother Ramli's death in 1965. The callousness of the surviving death squad members as they recount in detail their brutal acts which resulted in the deaths of a million or so "communists" and other subversives is dreadful to watch and hear. Theses atrocities represent another example of man's inhumanity to man in the uncivilized parts of the modern world and are incomprehensible to me. This documentary is an important document in revealing to the world the past Indonesian genocide. One is inclined to think that the spirit of Adolph Hitler lives on. Although dispiriting this is essential viewing, at least once.
