Anwar Congo and his friends have been dancing their way through musical numbers, twisting arms in film noir gangster scenes, and gaIloping across prairies as yodelIing cowboys. Their foray into filmmaking is being celebrated in the media and debated on television, even though Anwar Congo and his friends are mass murderers.
Medan, Indonesia. When the government of Indonesia was overthrown by the miIitary in 1965, Anwar and his friends were promoted from smalI-time gangsters who sold movie theatre tickets on the black market to death squad Ieaders. They helped the army kiIl more than one miIlion alleged communists, ethnic Chinese, and inteIlectuaIs in less than a year. As the executioner for the most notorious death squad in his city, Anwar himseIf kiIIed hundreds of people with his own hands.
THE ACT OF KILLING is a journey into the memories and imaginations of the perpetrators, offering insight into the minds of mass kiIIers. The film is a nightmarish vision of a frighteningly banal cuIture of impunity in which kiIlers can joke about crimes against humanity on teIevision chat shows, and ceIebrate moraI disaster with the ease and grace of a soft shoe dance number.
