Op het moment dat Indonesië zich voorbereid op militair ingrijpen in Oost-Timor, verdwijnen vijf journalisten van Australische TV stations van de aardbodem. Vier weken later bezoekt de ervaren oorlogscorrespondent Roger East het crisisgebied. Hij hoort over de verdwenen journalisten en gaat op onderzoek uit. (Entertainment One Benelux)
Recensie (1)
I have never heard of this problem in East Timor, which made the movie all the more interesting for me. I’m basically glad that Balibo was made, because no one else would be able to tell it in exactly this way. It’s incredibly accurate, sometimes overly documentary. Which, on the other hand, is a bit detrimental. Anyway, that’s why the film shows everything that these people had to go through at the time. And it was definitely not pleasant.
