What was the film about? Wjat happens?

The film was about how the gangsters killed communists in the 60's. It shows them reenacting how they killed them, burnt down there houses, interrogated them and stole from them. At the end of the film it also shows that what they actually did had hugely effected them as they came to a realization of how horrific what they did was.

Was there a scene that stood out to you? What was it and why?

The scene that stood out most was the end one when Anwar was showing where he tortured and killed, it was iconic because of the effect it had on him after making the film compared to the start of the film they go to the same lace and talk about it, he was really happy and joking about it at the start but at the end when it had hit him what he had done he was retching and throwing up.
