Indonesia is a an island nation with a troubled past. In this documentary, Joshua Oppenheimer gets a rare insight into the men who were considered heroes by some yet who struck terror in the hearts of their enemies. A group of these men decide to reenact some of the methods that they used to torture and kill their political opponents. This crazy and bizarre true story is a one of the most powerful things that I've ever seen.
The Act of Killing gets 5 out of 5 stars!
