The Act of Killing(2012、121min)

This documentary depicts the Indonesian mass killing from the perspective of the perpetrators. The perpetrators of the massacre are still living as national heroes today. Director Joshua Oppenheimer has documented these facts. By having the perpetrators of the massacre reenact their actions in front of the camera, we see the psychological changes that took place among the perpetrators.
