"Tele-drama from Australia, based on real events. In 1999, a group of Australian police join other volunteers on the United Nations mission to oversee East Timor's vote on independence from Indonesia."
"In 1999, after 24 years of forced occupation, East Timor won the right to vote for independence from Indonesia. The ballot would be supervised by the United Nations. The UN promised the East Timorese that they would stay after the vote, regardless of the outcome. It was a promise they couldn't keep. Australian policeman Mark Waldman (David Wenham), Canadian police officer (Isabelle Blais) and a young East Timorese translator named Ismenio Soares (Alex Tilman) are brought together by the UN's fateful effort to give the Timorese a voice in their own future."@en
