WHICH WAY TO THE WAR?
by Sue Useem

At a time where religious violence seems to draw more media attention than ever, Which Way to the War? is a unique and exciting documentary that exposes the truth behind a conflict that lies and fear have fueled, with devastating consequences. American filmmaker Sue Useem, along with a crew of courageous Indonesian journalists and activists, went to great risks to collect the footage, interviews, and stories that make up the first ever documentary feature film on the Poso conflict in Indonesia during the decade from 1998 to 2008.

Instead of just taking one angle on the conflict, Which Way to the War? examines and analyzes the whole story behind the story of Poso, an extremely complex conflict, told by the people who lived through it. Generally cast as a "religious war" between militant groups of Protestants and Muslims that started by fighting between two drunken youths, one Protestant, one Muslim, this documentary identifies the causes and the conspirators who encouraged and armed groups of young men, readily mobilized by calls for religious solidarity at a time when political, economic, and religious stability in the Poso area was under threat.

Which Way to the War? takes viewers into the lives of those who were most heroic during the dark times, those who stood unswervingly for truth, justice, and reconciliation, often at great personal risk. A documentary that takes only the side of truth, Which Way to the War? encourages viewers to understand the dynamics of power struggles in fueling of violence, the abuse and manipulation of religion in violent times, and the ways in which people can be transformed by others into murderers - or saints.
