Review of Balibo (2009) by David C — 09 Jan 2010
Great movie. Really well done and inspiring esp by some first time actors.
Hopefully this might help lead to some justice for the 5, Roger East and the Timorese people. Interesting note. When the Indonesians finally left the destroyed 90% of the country's infrastructure.
Personally I've always felt embarrassed at the response of my own government to the murders and the invasion. This film, by basically outing whitlam has helped, I think, helped redress that. Though keatings recognition of indonesian ownership still leaves a nasty taste.
