in 10S1, about 250 people
were killed in last Timor during
a jwaceful demonstration at a

The U S imposed restraint*
on military training and small
arms exportation to Indonesia."
he said "But we simply don't
hear anything much about this
in the new* media.”
Yasui attributed the lac k of
media coverage to corporate
inter**** “{Media < ov erage! i* of
no Interest to the U S govern

Yasui said “If something posi

would be counter-productive for
wtrporattons
"It's kind of scary that some
people at the top decide what
people can see at home." Yasui
said “East Timorese themselves
in bravery go out and protest the
government. Their voices are
not heard outside (East Timor),
which means there's some kind
of responsibility on our side "
Yasui said the film is being
shown to educate people about
East Timor in the hope that East
Timor Wilt soined.iv be added to
the public agenda “Since peo
pie don't know much about East
Timor, they need to get
informed first," he said.
