Synopsis
An intimate and engaging portrait of East Timorese Independence leader and Nobel Prize recipient, Jose Ramos Horta. This is a close look at Horta, the diplomat, unwilling politician and freedom fighter. Far from perfect, Horta emerges as a charismatic, intelligent and witty guerrilla. The film spans two crucial years in Horta's struggle for his country, beginning in 1998 at the first East Timorese National Convention in Lisbon and culminating with the amazing events of 1999.
