The Look Of Silence Trailer

Sometimes, you simply have to live with the past. You don't have to like it, but you have to accept it in order to not repeat it. This is the lesson that a young man is forced to realise, much to his grief. Growing up in Indonesia in the fallout of a mass genocide, he cannot abide by the idea of living so close to the people who killed his brother, yet his parents know that taking a path of revenge would only reopen old wounds nearly healed. 

'The Look of Silence' is 2014 Danish documentary film directed by Joshua Oppenheimer, serving as a sequel to his 2012 film 'The Act of Killing'. The film is based on the aftermath of the Indonesian killings of 1965-66, which opened on 28th August 2014 at the 71st Venice Film Festival. While there, it won the Grand Jury Prize, the International Film Critics Award, the Mouse d'Oro, the European Film Critics Award, and the Human Rights Nights Award. The film then continued to tour the Festival circuit, winning numerous awards. 'The Look of Silence' is set for a limited theatrical release in the US on 17th July 2015.
