It is ten years since the East Timorese successfully voted for independence from Indonesia. Nicholas Hansen’s brilliant documentary gets behind the scenes of news and current affairs reportage, to challenge those that think a free press automatically comes with independence. What happens to the local journalists when the foreign reporters return safely home after covering each crisis with their stories in the can? Jose Belo and Rosa Garcia are two of the local journalists who stay behind and are enmeshed in the political turmoil of their country. Immerse yourself in their world as they put themselves and their families at risk by reporting ongoing political scandal and conflict.
