Balibo

A courageous journalist and a determined local guide join forces to uncover the truth behind the brutal murders of a group of Australian reporters in East Timor, putting their lives at risk in a perilous quest.

Indonesia is on the verge of invading East Timor, and five Australian journalists suddenly go missing. Four weeks later, a seasoned foreign correspondent named Roger East is persuaded to travel to East Timor by a charismatic young man named José Ramos-Horta to shed light on the country's story and uncover the fate of the missing men. As East digs deeper into the truth, the threat of invasion grows more imminent, and an unlikely friendship forms between the last foreign journalist in East Timor and the man who will eventually become President.
