Beatriz's War
A Guerra da Beatriz
During East Timor's long occupation by Indonesia, a woman endures the loss of her husband and years of hardship, clinging to hope for his return even as a stranger appears claiming to be him. East Timor's first feature film, a wartime drama of endurance.
Why it’s here
East Timor’s first feature joins Timorese co-direction, writing, financing, cast, language, and national history in a widely screened and critically recognized work.
