The Art of Killing, a documentary about the Indonesian killings of 1965-66, is a raw and terrifying film directed by Joshua Oppenheimer.

It would be a lot of shots of the limp body of 46 year old, a lot of shots of a blood stained 1961 Lincoln Continental, and a lot of shots of a coffin being moved from car to building to car.
