The forgotten history of East Timor.
This documentary traces the turbulent history of East Timor, from centuries of colonial rule to its struggle under occupation, and ultimately its hard-fought independence in 2002. It highlights the resilience of the Timorese people, the 1991 Santa Cruz event that drew international attention, and the pivotal 1999 UN referendum. The film not only documents the hardships and triumphs of a nation reclaiming its identity but also explores the ongoing challenges in building a stable and prosperous future.
