Scenes from an Occupation

"They killed a child. The adults came out of their houses and said 'Kill us, not innocent children'. They came out, praying and shouting. That's when they machine gunned the adults." This is an intimate and confronting account of the last six months of Indonesia's occupation of East Timor. Filmmaker Carmela Baranowska is the only person to have documented this period. She first travelled to East Timor in March 1999, working as a one person crew. Scenes from an Occupation is an observational film closely aligned to the East Timorese people and the events which unfolded. The footage includes eyewitness accounts of the role the Indonesian military played in a systematic campaign of destruction, murder and terror. "We may all die", says an East Timorese woman, "but if one is left, he will tell the story". This film is a testament to the East Timorese people's courage, strength and determination to gain their independence.
