  • Jemma Purdey
    EPILOGUE Jemma Purdey This past December, I led a group of Australian students on a study tour to Indonesia, including a week of language and cultural immersion at a university in Bandung. The coordinators of the unit took the initiative to include a guest lecture in the program for our students and other for- eign visitors, as well as their own graduate students in Citizenship stud- ies. The topic of the lecture was Indonesian history and the Pancasila. As mine is a breadth subject open to enrolments from across faculties, in general my students had only a tacit knowledge of Indonesian his- tory. The lecturer delivered his rather dry account as a chronology of Indonesian “pre-colonial”, “colonial” and “post-colonial” history with a concluding discussion on Pancasila as national ideology. My students found this latter aspect of his lecture to be the more stimulating (the idea of a “national ideology”, particularly with religion as its starting point, as it seems a provocative one for young Australians). Personally, despite his comprehensive chronological listing of historical events com- plete with detail of lives lost in the colonial wars against the Dutch, what struck me was that there was no mention at all of “1965” beyond the 30 September Movement and Suharto’s triumphant suppression of it. Not of the mass killings and purges of Communists. Not even as a footnote. “1965” represents a period in Indonesian history roughly from 1965 to 1966 when an estimated half a million people were murdered (though some authors in this volume put this fgure higher, see in this volume © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2018 357 K.

SHORT SYNOPSIS IN THE SAME BREATH, directed by Nanfu Wang (“One Child Nation”), recounts the origin and spread of the novel coronavirus from the earliest days of the outbreak in Wuhan to its rampage across the United States. In a deeply personal approach, Wang, who was born in China and now lives in the United States, explores the parallel campaigns of misinformation waged by leadership and the devastating impact on citizens of both countries. Emotional first-hand accounts and startling, on-the-ground footage weave a revelatory picture of cover-ups and misinformation while also highlighting the strength and resilience of the healthcare workers, activists and family members who risked everything to communicate the truth. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT I spent a lot of my childhood in hospitals taking care of my father, who had rheumatic heart disease.
