An interview with film director Joshua Oppenheimer is presented. Oppenheimer directed the critically acclaimed documentary "The Act of Killing" which focuses on the mass slaughter of leftists and ethnic Chinese in Indonesia in the 1960s from the viewpoint of the perpetrators. He speaks about how he gained interest in the heinous events. He also talks about including Anwar Congo, the main perpetrator of the mass killings, in the filmmaking process.

The author provides an overview of the documentary films directed by Scott Millwood. His feature-length film "Proximity" is a combination of travelogue, social commentary and philosophical musing. The "Wildness" opened with an aerial shot coming in from the ocean over the sandy coastline of Tasmania. The film traces the lives of Australian wilderness photographers Olegas Truchanas and Peter Dombrovskis.
