The Act of Killing’ by Joshua Oppenheimer This truly chilling documentary challenges the unrepentant former members of Indonesian death squads to recreate some of their killings in the style of different Hollywood genres: gangsters, westerns, musicals. As they re-enact their atrocities, they become increasingly aware of the true horror of their actions. Yes, its as surreal as it sounds. But its also a clever and powerful use of film to expose a long-standing culture of impunity – so no wonder Joshua Oppenheimers film was in our shortlist for ‘Best Documentary’ at this year’s Media Awards.
