Balibo, directed by Robert Connolly, opened the 58th Melbourne Film Festival on Friday, 24 July.
Balibo stars Anthony LaPaglia as Australian journalist Roger East, who ventures to East Timor in 1975 at the urging of Jose Ramos-Horta (Oscar Isaac) to investigate the deaths of the Balibo Five - and to report on the impending Indonesian invasion of the tiny Portuguese colony. The first feature film shot on location in Timor-Leste, Balibo also features Damon Gameau, Gyton Grantley, Nathan Phillips, Mark Winter and Tom Wright as the Balibo Five.
