Balibo

East Timor, 1975. Four hundred years of Portuguese rule end and the country declares independence. Nine days later Indonesia invades. Shortly before that, five Australian-based journalists are killed by Indonesian soldiers in the town of Balibo. They are recorded as missing. Roger East, a veteran correspondent, is drawn to the country by the young José Ramos-Horta, to tell its story and to find out what happened to the five. The invasion draws closer by the day. Robert Connolly directs, with Anthony LaPaglia as Roger East and Oscar Isaac as Ramos-Horta. It was the first feature film shot in East Timor. It was banned in Indonesia.
