Synopsis

Explosive political thriller, telling the true story of crimes which have been kept hidden for over 30 years.
As Indonesia prepares to invade the tiny nation of East Timor, five Australian-based journalists go missing. Four weeks later, veteran foreign correspondent Roger East is lured to East Timor by the young and charismatic José Ramos-Horta to tell the story of his country and investigate the fate of the missing men. As East's determination to uncover the truth grows, the threat of invasion intensifies and an unlikely friendship develops between the last foreign correspondent in East Timor and the man who will become President.
Starring Golden Globe winner Anthony LaPaglia (Without a Trace, Summer of Sam, The House of Mirth) and Oscar Issac (Che, Body of Lies, Robin Hood).
