University of Westminster - Memories of dirty war captured

The victims and perpetrators of Indonesia's hidden genocide will be the focus of a £400,000 research project. With funding from a three-year Arts and Humanities Research Council grant, film academics at the University of Westminster will use cinematic tools to explore the memories of those who lived through the period October 1965 to March 1966, when up to 1 million trade unionists, organised peasants and alleged communists are thought to have been killed by army militia.
