Were you ever worried that exposing injustice would beget further injustice against the survivors?

How widespread was the Indonesian genocide across the archipelago and do people who live closer to Papua New Guinea have the same lingering experience of living in fear surrounded by perpetrators? Your work achieves potent intimacy by focusing on a (relatively) small(ish) group of people in a smallish place and I wonder whether the essential story you've told applies to all of Indonesia or whether the enduring suffering following 1965 was contained to North Sumatra?

You should look this up on YouTube and watch Herzog geek-out hardcore over Joshua's work. It's strangely satisfying. I'd place Herzog in the top 5 major "Oppenheimer Fanboys" - right behind me. ;)

Two more questions: 1. I really fell in love with Adi's mother. How is she doing now? Is her husband still around?

  1. Can you please do us a favor and choose a less dangerous project for whatever comes next? You're a beautiful man and we need you to be safe. :) Much love to you.

What is going on with Anwar and other perpetrators who you know closely now that both films are out and it sounds like social change is starting to take place (albeit perhaps slowly)? Will Indonesia make reparations, and if so, what will that mean for Anwar, et al? Are there any good news sources (in English) that we can follow to stay current on relevant events?
