Product Description
40 Years of Silence: An Indonesian Tragedy tells the story of one of the largest unknown mass-killings of the 20th century. In 1965-66, an estimated 500,000 to 1,000,000 people were secretly killed when General Suharto began a bloody purge of suspected communists throughout Indonesia. For decades, the Indonesian government repressed all memory of this event, and the world looked away.Based on the research of prominent anthropologist and edited by a two-time Academy Award winner, this film follows the compelling testimonies of four individuals and their families from Central Java and Bali, as they break their silence for the first time. Told in understated detail, the cumulative effect of their stories is heartbreaking, profound and ultimately redemptive.FAQ WITH DIRECTOR ROBERT LEMELSONWHAT INSPIRED YOU TO MAKE THIS FILM?Being trained as both a clinical psychologist and psychological anthropologist, I have long been interested in studying the long-term effects of trauma on people's lives and experiences in different cultures. I felt that only by understanding these issues could we come up with better ways to treat people who have experienced trauma in their lives. WHEN DID YOU START THIS PROJECT AND DID YOU ANTICIPATE IT WOULD TAKE SO LONG TO COMPLETE?Although a few shots in the film are from 1997, most of the footage comes from 2001-2006. Each year, several times a year, my film crew and I returned to Indonesia to follow the subjects' lives. It took this long to complete because we wanted a long enough scope in the characters' lives to really track their development.DO YOU HAVE A PERSONAL CONNECTION TO INDONESIA?I have been working in Indonesia every year since 1993. I was a Fulbright scholar to Indonesia from 1996 - 1997, and have conducted thousands of interviews with subjects throughout the country, all focusing on issues relating to personal experience, culture, and mental illness.HOW DID YOU FIND THE INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES FOR THE FILM? WAS IT DIFFICULT CONVINCING THEM TO PARTICIPATE?Some of them were patients in the clinics where I was conducting anthropological research, some were colleagues, and others were informants. I now consider all of them my close personal friends. Some feared for their personal safety but ultimately, they all felt that their stories should be told. It was only after I knew them well that they agreed to speak about their experiences during 1965 and afterwards.ARE YOU STILL IN CONTACT WITH THEM? HOW ARE THEIR LIVES TODAY?Yes, and their lives are largely the same as they were depicted in the film.DO YOU INTEND TO MAKE OTHER FILMS? IF SO, WHAT SUBJECT MATTER DO YOU PLAN TO ADDRESS?We are currently in production of a series of films that tells the stories of three people with mental illnesses in Indonesia. The film explores each individual's way of coping with their illness, and their community's response to it. See www.elementalproductions.org for more information. WHAT DO YOU HOPE AUDIENCES WILL TAKE AWAY FROM THE WORLD?There are many paths to recovering from a childhood of violence and trauma. This film illustrates this by showing characters that all learn to cope with their trauma in different ways. Secondly, it is crucial to understand the social and cultural setting in which trauma occurs. Without this understanding, the meanings and implications of trauma and violence could be misinterpreted.
