Talk:Death of a Nation (1994 film)

Allmovie?
why on earth someone's writing on a movie database (Allmovie) is noteworthy in the opening paragraph of a wiki page is a bit of a mystery. Stating that accusations of genocide "fly" in the film and thus insinuating that they are done lightly and with little evidence is rather problematic. Indonesia's destruction of East Timor, and Western complacency and complicity in it, has been subject to highly respectable subsequent historical research (e.g. Robinson) and while Pilger's and Munro's figures of deaths are somewhat high, they are fundamentally correct that Indonesian atrocities, tolerated by the West, constituted a population catastrophe (see e.g. Kiernan "Demography of Genocide").
