Here's looking at genocide in Indonesia

While “The Act of Killing” was a grandiose look at the perpetrators of the killings – politicians and military figures who still hold power and influence – “The Look of Silence” is all about the victims. They are embodied by a sole survivor, an optician who goes door-to-door, plying his trade in giving eye exams to the elderly.
His job is excellent cover for what he’s really doing – tracking down those who were responsible for killing his older brother in 1965. Patiently and methodically, he finds these people, and gets them to confess to truths that have been buried for nearly 50 years. Often, the words are out their mouths before they realise what they are saying.
An Academy Award nominee and almost-universally praised, “The Look of Silence” a must-see movie. It’s at SF cinemas. |For further details, check www.Facebook.com/DocumentaryClubTH or booking.sfcinemacity.com.
