Ajouté : 2026-05-28

[00:00:00]Did you know that in 1965, over half a million people were murdered in Indonesia in just 6 months? And the world never heard about it. It started with a failed coup. The military blamed communists. What happened next was unthinkable. [music] Neighbors turned on neighbors. Teachers killed students. Friends became executioners.

[00:00:19]>> [music] >> They used machetes, clubs, traditional weapons. Entire families were slaughtered and thrown into rivers that ran [music] red for weeks. But here's what makes this even more horrifying.

[00:00:30]The CIA provided kill lists, names of communist party members. The US Embassy supplied radio equipment to coordinate [music] the massacres. American officials called it a Cold War victory.

[00:00:40]In Java and Bali, death squads went door to door. Religious leaders blessed the violence. Children watched their parents die. Between 500,000 and 1 million [music] people were murdered. The Indonesian government buried the story.

[00:00:54]Survivors lived in terror for decades.

[00:00:56]Speaking about it meant death. This genocide was deliberately hidden from the world. For 50 years, almost nobody knew it happened. Until now.
