Drafthouse, Vice, VHX are partnering with Final Cut for Real and director Joshua Oppenheimer to release The Act Of Killing for free to all people of Indonesia from September 30, 2013.
"The history of the 1965 genocide is your history. For that reason, we are giving our film to you on September 30, the anniversary of the start of the atrocities. We want you to screen it, discuss it, distribute it to friends across the archipelago. I made this film in collaboration with over 60 anonymous Indonesians who, like you, wanted to know the truth about their history, and to understand how impunity for past atrocities underpins a present day regime of corruption, thuggery, and terror. We worked together for seven years to open a space in which you can discuss these issues without fear, in the hope that it will help you in your struggle for truth, reconciliation, and justice."
- Director, Joshua Oppenheimer
