One man's quest for change in East Timor: Rambo Marabunta's revolution | Witness Documentary

Osme Gonsalves is an eccentric performance artist who is deeply frustrated by his young nation’s political apathy. So he creates a fictional alter-ego as a roving TV reporter called "Rambo Marabunta" to interrogate his fellow citizens' disenchantment with politics in a country he fought for during its past occupation.
"Rambo" quickly gains notoriety on social media and catches the attention of a major national TV station, as he hopes to define a new voice for the future of a nation - in East Timor’s first reality TV show.
This is Reality is a film by Chris Phillips.

    Poorest country. left poor and destitute by Australia. I am grateful that this province is no longer part of Indonesia. developing this province is tantamount to a waste of the state budget. and it would be better if the budget was used to develop other provinces! 👍 Now Indonesia has become part of the G20. Money and Investments are better used to Build Highways and Railways than to be used to Compensate this Country!

    @@joaodossantos8556 Papua is free they can travel work all around Indonesia wihout any limitation equals with other Indonesiam citizens. Freedom is about free from poverty hunger and unemployement. Is Timor leste more free than Indonesians Papuans in terms of free from hunger poverty and unemployement? Does Timor lestian have better job opportunities and different kind of jobs like working in train factories or stock companies. Freedom is about having more opportunities in life not stuck in a small country and not many work on besides raising pigs and chicken. There is a reason why US choose to join themself from 13 countries to 50 countries. The one who is free in timor leste is your Portuguese descent elites while the natives are still poors. Many of your people are illegal migrants in Indonesia work illegally and we have to deport them everyday. Is that what you call freedom? Being a beggar nation? I think Rambo is the only one who is being honest. He now knows independence only means that certain people can get to call themselves president eventhough a president a small poor nations. If I were your leader I would be very embarrrased always come to Indonesia begging the country you call poor colonizer.
