‘The Look of Silence’ examines the effects of 50 years of unacknowledged trauma through the eyes of one brave family

“Why should I remember if remembering only breaks my heart?” a former Indonesian death squad member croons, badly, into a karaoke machine at the beginning of “The Look of Silence,” director Joshua Oppenheimer’s latest documentary to delve into Indonesia’s genocidal past.
Maybe for the singer there is reason to forget — he did, after all, take part in slaughter.
But in the film, Adi Rukun, an empathetic optician, sits silently in a slatted wooden chair and watches footage of the singing genocidaire, trying to understand what happened in 1965. His brother, Ramli, was one of an estimated 1 million Indonesians killed in the wave of anti-communist violence that gripped the Southeast Asian nation in 1965-66.
Fifty years on, Ramli’s murder and its effects on Adi and his family form the centerpiece of "The Look of Silence," the follow up to 2012’s "The Act of Killing" — a film that looked at the Indonesian genocide through the eyes of the perpetrators.
This documentary gave Adi, 46, the chance to confront his brother’s murderers and attempt to end the fear he and his parents have endured for decades, Oppenheimer told Al Jazeera ahead of the film’s opening in New York on Friday.
