I'd like to see that, too. I'm skeptical about this -- especially the part where she burned her identity documents to avoid being linked to a Communist coup that occurred when she was 102. Everyone knows that little old ladies are not to be trifled with, but this is going a little far.

The communist party in indonesia at the time had a huge women's front. They were an essential piece of the politics at the time.

EDIT: and post-1965 events, being a communist was an automatic death mark.

You can thank the CIA for that, I'm pretty sure.
