March 04, 2014 in Indonesia

The Act of Killing should have won the Best Documentary at the Oscars but lost out to continuing ignorance of Indonesia & its history in the west. There is also a need to examine the US & western powers role & encouragement in the policies leading to the Indonesian killings in the mid 1960s.

The Lowy Interpreter blog has a good piece on the impact of The Act of Killing in Indonesia.  

The Economist also has a fine article.
