“Canta! Timor” was filmed in East Timor, just after its independence. The story begins with a piece of music, and through a journey of a Japanese woman, it tells how the Timorese kept their music and forgave their enemies in order to obtain independence, in a cruel situation during 24 years of the military attack. Simple but beautiful songs are impressive, that leads the entire story.
Including valuable interviews of the local people,
guerrillas, and the first president Xanana Gusmao
