Summary
In 1975, after 460 years of Portuguese rule, Fretilin, the revolutionary front for an independent East Timor, declared independence for the small nation. Ten days later Indonesia invaded. Fretilin, and the resistance army Falintil, fought the Indonesian military for the next 24 years. Over 250,000 people died as a result of the occupation. The video looks at how a country is born, literally from the ashes, and how the East Timorese people are now working to build a future. Rated PG
