The perpetrators of that massacre are still at large.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-NU.nl_3-1" len="176" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [3] ==Story<span class="mw-editsection" len="332" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == Read warning: text below contains details about the content and/or the end of the story.<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">When Sukarno was overthrown by Suharto in 1965 at Kudeta, changed the lives of Anwar Congo and his friends. Illegal traders of movie tickets on the black market they changed in death squad leaders. They helped the army with the murder of at least hundreds of thousands of (alleged) extortion of ethnic Chinese Communists, and engaged and killing those who refused. As the executioner of the most notorious death squads in his city Medan in North Sumatra, killed Anwar hundreds of people with his own hands.

The organization is so powerful that its leaders consist of ministers and they are happy to brag about everything from corruption in election up to genocide. A regime was established based on crimes against humanity, but is never held accountable.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Anwar and his friends decided to make a fictional film containing the murders as they themselves have done in the past. Because the process of making a fictional film, the filmmaker challenge Anwar and his friends safe and putting it openness about their real feelings. Realizing that the friends some of Anwars murders were wrong. Others are concerned about the consequences of the story about their public image. Younger members of Pemuda Pancasila claim they have to brag about the horror of the massacres, because their terrifying and threatening force is the basis of their power today. The construction work of genocide as a "patriotic fight", with Anwar and his friends as heroes, is starting to crack.

The filmmaker points out that it is much worse for the victims was, because that really was and this is just a movie. The process of making the film catalyzes an unexpected emotional journey for Anwar, of arrogance to regret as he for the first time in his life is faced with the full implications of what he's done. ==Prices<span class="mw-editsection" len="332" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] ==
