The Screen Guide

This is an award-winning account of the last six months of Indonesia's occupation of East Timor in 1999. Carmela Baranowska is the only filmmaker to have documented this period. 'We may all die', says an East Timorese woman, 'but if one is left, he will tell the story'. An intimate account of how the world's newest nation was born - and an extraordinary testament to the Timorese people's strength, humour and determination in struggling for their independence.
