Andre Vltchek’s 2004 film Terlena: Breaking of a Nation. The film documents the effects of the 1965 US-backed coup in Indonesia on the county’s intellectual community. The coup and the ensuing anti-communist purges led to the deaths of up to a million Indonesians and marked the start of the 30-year Suharto dictatorship. Andre Vltchek is a filmmaker, writer, and journalist. Mr. Vltchek’s work has focused on disaster and violent conflict from a historical perspective, primarily in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific. Bendict Anderson will join Vltchek in discussing the film.
