After the overthrow of the Indonesian government in 1965, the new regime declared that anyone determined to be a communist is to be executed. The executions were not carried out by the military itself but by hired guns. Typically these death squads were run by local gangsters. No one responsible for these war crimes has ever been made to answer for these atrocities that cost untold numbers of people their lives. Decades later, directors Joshua Oppenheimer and Christine Cynn commemorate this dark period in Indonesian history by focusing their cameras on the men responsible.

The tagline for James Cameron’s Titanic was “Nothing on Earth Could Come Between Them.” This can certainly apply to Tom Bridegroom and his partner of six years Shane Bitney Crone. They were the sweetest of couples so madly in love with each other that it was fate that they found each other. In fact it seemed they were destined to find each other. Their relationship was the stuff of dreams.

Thomas Vinterberg's The Hunt is a difficult film to endure for several reasons. The subject matter is dark, tackling the topic of sexual abuse in children, but the fact that the viewer is made aware that the accused is innocent, makes it all the more of a challenge. The end result is in an incredibly compelling narrative with stellar performances and a thought provoking plot.
