The Look of Silence

An Indonesian man with a communist background named Ramli was brutally murdered when the Communist purge occurred in 1965. His remaining family members lived in fear and silence until the making of this documentary. Adi, a brother of his, decided to revisit the horrific incident and visited the men who were responsible for the killings and one survivor of the purge.
