Joshua Oppenheimer’s Indonesian genocide documentary The Act of Killing was one of the best films of 2013. It was unique in that it forced those who bragged about their killings to reenact them and see it from a different perspective. This trailer is for the companion film The Look of Silence, which focuses on the victims of those attacks rather than the attackers.
There doesn’t seem to be as much nuance as the previous film, but the directness will give the story a fresh angle. The Look of Silence hits sometime next year.
