This astonishing first film from East Timor was made guerrilla style by the men and women who fought in the armed resistance and the clandestine movement during the small country’s twenty-four year-long war with Indonesia. The film is the story of one woman’s passion for independence and justice, both for her nation and for her soul.

(dir. Bety Reis and Luigi Acquisto, 100 minutes, English subtitles)



In Association with the Sub-Faculty of Portuguese, University of Oxford
