The Look of Silence

Joshua Oppenheimer's powerful companion piece to the Oscar®-nominated The Act of Killing. Oppenheimer's footage of perpetrators of the 1965 Indonesian genocide helped a family of survivors discover how their son was murdered and gave them the identities of the killers. The youngest son in the family, an optometrist named Adi, breaks the spell of submission and terror by doing something unimaginable in a society where the murderers remain in power: he confronts the men who killed his brother and asks them to accept responsibility.
