BALIBO is the true story of the murder of five Australian journalists in East Timor in 1975 in the lead up to the invasion by Indonesia.
Juliana Da Costa was nine years old when Indonesia invaded Dili. For the first time since that tragic day, she returns to Dili to give evidence to the Timor-Leste Commission For Truth and Reconciliation. The revelations of her testimony frame BALIBO as Juliana describes the day of the invasion and the massacre that unfolded on the Dili Wharf in 1975.
