I recently saw The Look of
Silence about the massacres
that took place in Indonesia
in 1965.66. The U.S. played
a major role in the events
at the center of The Look of
Silence. It cheered
the killing, compiled list
of those it wanted dead or
imprisoned, and and provided
crucial equipment during the
bloodbath.
In the decades that
followed, the U.S.
trained and armed the
military dictatorship that
oppressed Indonesia to the
benefit of. US corporate
interests. The East Timor
and Indonesia Action Network
(www.etan.org) and other
human rights groups are
urging the U.S. government
to declassify and release
all its records of the
1965/66 violence. The U.S.
should acknowledge its
responsibility in these
bloody events and the many
bloodbaths - in Aceh, West
Papua, East Timor and
elsewhere in the archipelago
- that followed. Sign

We need to confront the U.S.
government’s role in
facilitating the killings
depicted in Oppenheimer’s
films - The Look of Silence
and The Act of Killing. The
U.S. cheered on the
Indonesian army as the
massacres took place, handed
over key equipment, and
provided lists of people it
wanted arrested. U.S.
companies benefited greatly
from the Suharto
dictatorship after he took
power.

I
am going to see the
documentary
The Look of Silence
about the mass killing in
Indonesia in 1965. The U.S.
had a major role in these
massacres at the center of
the film. It cheered on the
killing and trained and
armed that seized power at
the time and,
with U.S. backing,
ruled for decades after.
I

demanding that U.S.
declassify and release its

role in the crimes of
Indonesia mass violence.

Letters to the Editor
(modify or write your own)
Dear
Editor,
The
Oscar-nominated
documentary, “The Look of
Silence,” tells the
incredible story of
one brave man’s attempts to
find justice and closure for
his family in Indonesia. He
lost his brother during the
massacres in the 1960s that
brought the brutal dictator
Suharto to power in
Indonesia.
There
is also a need to justice at
a higher level. The World
Bank, the U.S. government,
and our allies played
crucial roles the rise of
Suharto and the more than
three decades of massacres
across Indonesia, the
illegal occupation of
Timor-Leste, and the
destruction of the economic
and social fabric of the
Indonesian people.
We
need official recognition of
the role our government
played, including
reparations to the
Indonesian people for the
millions, if not billions,
that American companies
profited from military sales
and collusion in the
widespread exploitation of
natural resources across the
archipelago.
Sincerely,
To the editor:
I recently saw the
Oscar-nominated documentary The
Look of Silence. It
powerfully depicts
the impact of the 1965
massacres in Indonesia on
one family. In the film, the
protagonist gently
confronts his brother's
killers and those who
commanded them. The film
speaks eloquently on the
need for justice and
accountability.
The U.S. government
cheered on the killers,
helped to give them
direction and provided
crucial equipment during
the bloodbath.
After 50
years, the U.S. should clean
about its role in the mass
violence, when as many as
one million were killed.
U.S. corporations greatly
benefited from the military
dictatorship that seized
power, as Indonesian, West
Papuans and East Timorese
suffered one massacre after
another. As a start the U.S.
must declassify and release
all its records and
acknowledge its role in
these crimes.
The East
Timor and Indonesia Action
Network (etan.org) is
working to make this happen.
Sincerely,
Action
