THE massacre of PKI members following the tragic events of 1965 has come back to haunt us with the screening of The Act of Killing by US filmmaker Joshua Oppenheimer. The movie features the chilling confession of Anwar Congo, who took part in the mass killings almost 50 years ago. In this special report, Tempo looks back at that dark period—Indonesia’s own killing fi elds, the former concentration camps, and the grisly accounts of those who did the unthinkable.
