In the untold story of the struggle for East Timor's Independence, we witness first-hand the agonising dilemmas of the Falintil guerrilla movement, and meet militia fighters who reveal how violence was orchestrated by the Indonesian military.
Since the gruesome massacre of three UN workers in September, West Timor has been sliding into lawlessness. "The worst case scenario is beginning to materialise", says a senior UN official. The worst case scenario is a repeat of the bloodbath in East Timor a year ago - this time west of the border.
In 1999 East Timor overwhelmingly voted for independence. However celebrations did not follow - brutal violence did. This documentary speaks to those who bore witness to the tragic events which lead to the death of 1,400 civilians.
