By the mid-1990s, however, anonymous internet communities and small publications had begun questioning the movie's contents; one online message, sent anonymously through a mailing list, asked "If only a small section of the PKI leadership and military agents knew about , how is it that over a million people were killed and thousands of people who knew nothing had to be imprisoned, exiled, and lost their civil rights?"
Namun pada pertengahan 1990-an, komunitas internet anonim dan publikasi-publikasi kecil mulai mempertanyakan isi film tersebut; satu pesan yang dikirim melalui milis bertanya "Jika hanya sebagian kecil dari kepemimpinan PKI dan agen militer mengetahui , bagaimana bisa lebih dari satu juta orang tewas dan ribuan orang yang tidak tahu harus dipenjarakan, diasingkan, dan kehilangan hak-hak sipil mereka?"
