Synopsis
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 EastâÂÂs 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. BALIBO is a political thriller that tells the true story of crimes that have been covered up for over thirty years. Starring Anthony Lapaglia as Roger East, the âÂÂsixthâ Balibo Five journalist, and rising star Oscar Issac, whose scene-stealing scenes with Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan in 2011 hit Drive has since landed him the lead role in the next feature to be directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. Isaac can also be seen in the forthcoming Madonna-directed W.E. and is currently filming The Bourne Legacy.
