When the Indonesian government was overthrown by the military in 1965, Anwar Congo and his friends were promoted from small-time gangsters to death-squad leaders, killing more than 1 million alleged communists, ethnic Chinese, and intellectuals in less than a year. Joshua Oppenheimer's film explores the memories of these perpetrators, offering insight into the minds of mass killers who are still in control. "Dogged, inventive, profoundly upsetting and dismayingly funny", A. O. Scott, New York Times. Sponsored by the Hirschfield International Film Series. (Joshua Oppenheimer, Christine Cynn, Anonymous, Denmark/Norway/UK, 2012, 115 minutes) Free
