The Diplomat: José Ramos Horta and East Timor’s Fight for Independence

For 24 years, José Ramos Horta, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, campaigned to secure independence for East Timor, a Portuguese colony invaded by Indonesia in 1975. This program takes up Ramos Horta’s story in the final dramatic stages of his journey, including the fall of President Suharto, the referendum to determine East Timor’s future, the overwhelming vote for independence, the carnage that ensued, the intervention of UN peacekeepers, and Ramos Horta’s triumphant return to his beloved homeland. An in-depth interview with Ramos Horta, a detailed examination of the independence movement, and extensive war footage enhance this comprehensive retrospective. (58 minutes)
