El filme de Joshua Oppenheimer, El acto de matar, presenta la recreación de algunos episodios de un genocidio perpetrado en Indonesia, en 1965; muestra tanto la distinta posición de los asesinos con relación al crimen, como algunos aspectos referidos al colectivo que les sirve de referencia, en particular, el que concierne al ascenso del criminal al lugar del ideal social. De manera correlativa, indica la lógica que gobierna la construcción del enemigo y los dispositivos discursivos que allí operan. El marco de impunidad expuesto da clara cuenta de las licencias que se toma el hombre libre, el free man, del libre mercado
