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.
This is the story behind the East Timor crisis and how Australian foreign policy makers became captive to the ties that bind, ties built on Realpolitik. A powerful investigative documentary that gains exceptional access into the murky world of high-level diplomatic dealings where human rights are sacrificed to the bigger political picture.
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.
