...want to torture people the way they did my family,” proclaims Budi, a young Indonesian boy, at the start of Robert B. Lemelson’s documentary film, “40 Years of Silence: An Indonesian Tragedy.” Such is the sentiment that now prevails over the long silence that followed in the wake of the mass killings which took place in the mid-60s in Bali—deeply embedded anger is passionately released, experiences of discrimination and pain fervently expressed.

Though the U.A.E. justified the blocking of Peer's visa as a measure taken to protect the player herself from demonstrators and growing anti-Israeli sentiment in the Emirates, the move is widely seen in Israel as a public - and pointless - rebuke in response to the Israeli military incursion into Gaza earlier this year. The Women's Tennis Association has reprimanded the Emirates for politicizing the sporting event and is considering canceling future events in the country...
