What About Roger? - East Timor

September 2009
Five Australian journalists were murdered in East Timor in 1975. Now 34 years later and prompted by the making of a new feature film, Balibo, the inquiry into the Balibo Five has begun. But was there a sixth victim?
When journalist Roger East broke the story that 5 newsmen were murdered, he was determined to get justice. But the story was buried, along with Roger, who 2 months later was dragged to his death. Thousands of Australians were outraged by their government says Balibos producer John Maynard, who is bringing the story back to the fore. Will there be any justice for them?

I saw this movie today. It was sad that a country was being taken over by a big bully country Indonesia. Roger East's killers must be brought to justice regardless of political fallout. The whole rotten mess of the invasion of East Timor and the murder of people is unacceptable! Indonesia cannot and must not be let off the hook for its murderous actions on its neighbours. I kept thinking wot about the Geneva Convention?? Regardless of wot people think that law protects people in conflct!

You're too right there brother! They are a righteous organization Journeyman, we need 'em badly in these dire times, and being Australian it makes me bloody proud of some of the doco's they distribute from Australian SBS and ABC. Keep 'em coming!

@djjasonwin, I see you are American, explains why you don't give a shit about anyone but yourself. Just imagine if one of these men was someone you loved, what would you do? Oh thats right, you would invade two countries that had nothing to do with it.

If one of these men was a family member of yours would you care then? If someone you know or care about was murdered would you want it investigated or would you just think no big deal?
