*** José Ramos Horta is no longer attending due to matters of State***
During the Indonesian occupation of East Timor, José Ramos Horta played a vital role as the international face of the independence movement. He spent a quarter of a century criss-crossing the globe and using the international media to keep alive the case for a Timorese state. Following a screening of Tom Zubrycki’s landmark documentary,
The Diplomat (2000), which follows Ramos Horta in the lead up to the pivotal independence referendum, we will be having a very special forum which will bring together: Jose Ramos Horta, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and Prime Minister of East Timor; Tom Zubrycki, one of Australia’s leading documentary filmmakers; and the Hon. Mike Rann, Premier of South Australia, and chair Dominique Shwartz. The conversation will range broadly across both politics and film, and is not to be missed.
