Film gives Indonesia view of bloody, obscured past

in this Monday, Sept 30, 2013 photo, people gather and watch a documentary film, "The Act of Killing" in Jakarta, Indonesia. The film, which explores the mass killing of communists in 1965, was made free online this week in Indonesia. A new American-directed documentary, "The Act of Killing," challenges widely held views about hundreds of thousands of deaths carried out across Indonesia from 1965 to 1966 in the name of fighting communism. It explores the country’s darkest open secret by allowing former mass killers to re-enact their horrors on screen.
