Blackout in East Timor, Directed by Stephen Marshall, Produced by Paul McNuily and Joulie Wheeler, USA, 1997
8 min.

“Blackout in East Timor” examines the limited coverage of the brutal abuse inflicted by Indonesia on East Timor during its US backed occupation. I like the discussion at the beginning of the video about the high cost of investigative journalism and the limits to covering stories. The video was made at the tail end of Indonesia’s 25-year occupation of the region and called for a boycott of corporations that do business with Indonesia.
