* AcceptableTargets:[[invoked]] The extermination campaign nominally targeted communists, which in practice came to include anyone with the slightest hint of left-wing affiliation, from union members to irreligious people and ethnic Chinese. The killers speak disparagingly of all these groups and treat them as subhuman.

* AdultFear: Adi's mom has experienced probably the worst nightmare for any parent. Not only was her son "disappeared" one night, but he actually escaped and came home covered in wounds. This is horrific enough, but it proved to be a cruel HopeSpot, because the next morning, the death squads managed to find him again and dragged him off, [[BlatantLies promising to take him to the hospital]]. That was the last time she ever saw him. After this, she is forced to live next to the men who did it for the rest of her life, powerless to do anything but wish for them and their children to burn in hell.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: One of the film's interviewees is an old man named Kemat who narrowly escaped execution at the hands of the gangsters. [[StepfordSmiler Although he insists he's made peace with what happened to him,]] it quickly becomes apparent that he's still haunted by what he went through.

* NotSoStoic: Kemat claims at first that he's made peace with his near-death experience during the genocide, but when he and Adi visit the riverside where the victims' bodies were deposed of, he starts praying out loud for God to put the spirits of the innocent people who were murdered there to rest.

* SurvivorGuilt: It's clear that Kemat's near-death experience and his status as one of the few would-be victims to survive the genocide weigh heavily on his shoulders.

* ScatterbrainedSenior: Adi's dad is roughly 109 years old, almost completely blind and deaf, and very senile. He repeatedly claims to be only 17 years old and at one point thinks he's gotten lost in a stranger's house while crawling around his own living room.

* VagueAge: Adi's father's ID card claims that he was born in 1906, which would mean he'd be ''108'' years old as of the filming of the documentary. While he does look pretty damn ancient and clearly isn't in good health, it seems a little incongruous with Adi only being in his early 40's, as his father would have to have been nearly 60 when he was born. While that's certainly not impossible, the fact that Adi's mother is also quite old makes it seem like they'd had to have had him right when she was on the verge of menopause (her birthdate is never given, so it could be [[MayDecemberRomance there was a bigger gap in their ages when they married than what's obvious]]). Adi's mother expresses doubt that 1906 is her husband's actual birthdate but the matter is never resolved one way or the other.
