Friends of the movie's main characters tell me that until today they are unable to mention - in any small reference - communism.

I love that place, and those people - they have been good to me, an outsider. We are always hoping they continue to be good to one another, insiders. As a movie review, I highly suggest that ALL persons of Indonesian educational background should see this excellent documentary. It discusses and denies the state sponsored "history" of 1965 propaganda movie that you who were students were forced to watch in local theaters since 1984; and as such, it presents a new truth.
