What we need to protect is human nature, not one party.

The film is very good. It is necessary to let people know the truth of history, but while revealing the truth to people, it is also necessary to protect the innocent families of the murderers, especially when the local political situation is unstable, and it may change. Given the local people’s historical knowledge, we hope that all victims’ families can forgive sinners and look directly at history, but we cannot guarantee that everyone can do it, and we cannot guarantee that everyone can be as peaceful as Ali, and I believe that we do not I don’t want their innocent children to grow up with the title of "Kids of the Killers" in the school, and this film does not take any image protection treatment for the family members of the killers without affecting the presentation. I am very disappointed. At the same time, in terms of post-film creative exchanges, the Danish lady’s answer to my media ethics question also made me very, very disappointed.

Lincoln Center NYFF#2 By restraining the quiet lens language, go deep into the haunted landscape of the victim's side, to feel the pain of living with the murderer for half a century, to feel the intertwining of lies, resentment and fear Anxious. The victim and the perpetrator tentatively confronted each other in silence. Good and evil, true and false, quietly slaughtered in the bloodshot and moist eye sockets. So you don't blink!

Although the subtitles are disabled, fortunately they can be released with English subtitles. I don't know if I will be able to see the public screening of "Although I Die" in China in ten years? I look forward to that day very much. 2015 Film Festival @moma Broadway

Joshua Oppenheimer: What support did you have from the Army?
Amir Hasan - Former Leader of Death Squad: They waited at the road with the truck. They didn't come down here. They never came down here. They called this, 'The People's Struggle.' So, they kept their distance. If the Army was seen doing this, the world would be angry. 'The Army is killing Communists!' So, to protect their image they made it look like the people exterminated the Communists. But everybody knows the Army was behind it.
