Build my gallows high: Joshua Oppenheimer on The Act of Killing
In The Act of Killing, the perpetrators of the massacres of millions of alleged communists in mid-1960s Indonesia re-enact their crimes – with extraordinary results. Here Oppenheimer talks about outing genocide, and the miasmic horror that binds us. From July 2013.
