DESCRIPTION:“A Hero’s Journey” – A quest for peace in East Timor 
 (Timor-Leste)\nEvent: Film Screening and fundraiser for HOPE Orphanage in 
 East Timor (Timor-Leste)\nMonday, November 30th, 2009, 
 7:30pm-9:30pm\nResource Center for Nonviolence, 515 Broadway, Santa Cruz 
 95060\n\nA Hero's Journey (78 mins), written, directed and produced by 
 Grace Phan\n \nThis documentary film, featured in the 2008 Santa Cruz Film 
 Festival (then titled Where the Sun Rises), reveals the world's newest 
 nation to the world for the very first time. The current Prime Minister -- 
 and first President -- of East Timor, Xanana Gusmao, and film crews travel 
 the breadth of the nation across its rugged landscapes.\n \nThroughout the 
 film, Gusmao engages with people in remote villages, many of whom were 
 victims or witnesses of massacres in 1999 when thousands of Timorese were 
 killed.  These massacres followed the successful vote for independence from 
 foreign occupation in a U.N.-backed referendum.\n \nThis film is about the 
 fight to build a new nation from ashes, and against poverty, incompetence, 
 corruption and hatred. It is a story about the courageous journey from war 
 and sacrifice to forgiveness and reconciliation. A trailer can be seen at 
 http://www.luxlucis.sg/index2.htm.\n\nIn 2004 HOPE Orphanage in East Timor 
 (Timor-Leste) became the home of 24 children whose parents were killed in 
 the 1999 massacres. There is no adoption in Timor-Leste, and the children 
 -- now 31 -- live together as an extended family. While their basic needs 
 are provided for, they live in poverty.\n \nA three-minute movie of the 
 orphanage can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7rjCrrWFRA. The 
 orphanage depends on private donations to operate. If you would like to 
 make a tax-deductible donation, please send an email to 
 jean_a_olson@yahoo.com.\n\n\n
