Review of The Look of Silence (2014) by Eric H — 20 Jan 2016
Didn't really know much about the mass killings in Indonesia in the 1960's before watching this documentary, but something about it was so compelling and unbelievable that it practically was a mini-ww2.
The Indonesian government at the time were very much like Nazi's, which is sickening, and this documentary brings light about the disgraceful ways religious propaganda can persuade people to kill.
What I got out of this documentary was that many of the killers didn't know what a communist was, let alone think they were people. They were spun lies about the communists and many took joy in killing them.
One of the most eye opening documentaries I've seen, amongst one of the most sadistic and terrible mass killings in history.
