The Act of Killing

The Act of Killing

In a country where killers are celebrated as heroes, the filmmakers challenge unrepentant Indonesian death squad leaders to dramatise their roles in the East Timorean genocide. The hallucinatory result is an unsettling journey into the minds of mass-murderers and the regime of corruption and impunity they inhabit.
