Film, Teror Negara, dan Luka Bangsa (Ariel Heryanto)
Tempo, 1 October 2012: Film, state terror and the nation's wound (Ariel Heryanto)
Ariel Heryanto essay in Tempo (1 Oct 2012) on state terror, propaganda film and the 1965 wound, from Supersemar and the Pengkhianatan G30S/PKI film to post-1998 indie documentaries and The Act of Killing. One passage states Gerwani leaders were detained, raped, tortured and portrayed as immoral mutilators in army press, museum and film, though autopsies showed no mutilation.
Esai Ariel Heryanto di Tempo (1 Okt 2012) tentang teror negara, film propaganda dan luka 1965, dari Supersemar dan film Pengkhianatan G30S/PKI hingga film dokumenter independen pasca-1998 dan The Act of Killing. Satu bagian menyebut pimpinan Gerwani ditahan, diperkosa, disiksa dan digambarkan amoral pencincang jenderal di koran tentara, museum dan film, padahal otopsi tak menemukan mutilasi.
“Pimpinan dan anggota Gerwani... ditahan, diperkosa, dan disiksa. Tapi, dalam koran tentara, sejarah resmi, museum Lubang Buaya, dan film Pengkhianatan G30S/PKI, mereka digambarkan sebagai kaum tidak bermoral... Hasil otopsi resmi menyatakan tidak ada mayat yang disayat-sayat.”
