Beatriz’s War premieres at the Adelaide Film Festival
A country’s first film. A love story, written in blood.
The Hawke Centre is delighted to partner with the Adelaide Film Festival to present the Australian premiere of East Timor’s first feature film: Beatriz’s War.
An epic spanning the 24-year period of Indonesian occupation, Beatriz’s War follows the story of one woman’s struggle to remain true to the man she loves and the country for which she has fought.
