Exposed: A Visual History of the Destruction of the Indonesian Left by Geoffrey Robinson and Douglas Kammen
Exposed tells the story of the orchestrated mass violence of 1965โ1968 in Indonesia and its aftermath. By highlighting visual imagery, Geoffrey Robinson and Douglas Kammen fill a void in existing accounts, challenge distorted official narratives, and establish a basis on which new social memories and interpretations might be formed.
"Exposed gazes into an apparent void, straining to pierce its darkness with tender, unflinching eyes. The result is urgent and heartbreakingโan act of defiance against annihilation. In an era when impunity feeds corruption and despair everywhere, their book is a gift to humanity."โJoshua Oppenheimer, director of The Act of Killing
