Video Slam 2013: Remixing the 1965 State Propaganda Film
'Pengkhianatan G30S/PKI' is an Indonesian film released in 1984. It depicted the historical events of September 30 to October 1, 1965. The film was directed by the renowned Arifin C. Noer. It was well funded and blessed by the Suharto Regime. The film shows the brutality of the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI), and the killing of army generals in a coup d'état attempt.
