Journal article by Gilang Desti Parahita and Vissia Ita Yulianto (Archipel 99, 2020, pp. 47-73) on how YouTube reproduces the New Order's 'Pengkhianatan G30S/PKI' as monumental memory while alternative 1965 films circulate far less. Gerwani appears on p. 63: filmmaker Lexy Rambadetta, after meeting former Gerwani members Sulami, Sulastri, Sumarni and Putmainah, learned Gerwani never performed the 'Dance of Fragrant Flowers'. An appendix lists films on Gerwani survivors ('Perempuan yang Tertuduh', 'The Women and the Generals').
