Summary
The world fell in love with East Timor when it was born as a new nation after 24 years of occupation and war. Australia's International Force for East Timor (INTERFET) supported the Timorese to secure peace, following the 1999 carnage. Yet the chilling story of Australia's relationship with this new nation must be told, almost two decades later.. At issue are negotiations over a maritime boundary in the Timor Sea, an area rich in oil reserves. East Timor wants the boundary to be drawn at the median line, in accordance with international law, half way between the two countries.. TIME TO DRAW THE LINE is an emotional study of Australia's long connection to East Timor revealing a chequered relationship of friendship and mistrust. The film presents the campaign for a fair go for East Timor and that nation's desire to settle its long-running maritime boundary dispute with Australia. Interviews include those Australians who are on the side (of the line) of the East Timorese and on the right side of history.. "A very passionate work, very moving ... beautifully crafted" - Tom Zubrycki, filmmaker. "Time to Draw The Line' is essential viewing for understanding how the extraction of resources has, time after time, usurped our morals." - Damon Gameau, actor 'Balibo', 'That Sugar Film'. "It's fantastic. A strong argument, but also a terrific study of a period of history too. Congratulations, it is a very significant work on this issue." - Robert Connolly, director 'Balibo', 'Barracuda'
