      Google translation:
      Movies and report produced by Jose Ramos Horta (now president) during the 1972/1974 season when he was a functionary of the Centre for Tourism Information of East Timor.

      Thank you Bernardino. Do these materials survive somewhere? Not in Timor, I think. In Portugal?

    Yes, in Portugal.

  6. Jen Hughes says:

    I would like to know is how much did ordinary people in Portugal know about Timorese culture in Portugal in 1975 when the refugees arrived? What was their reception like? Did solidarity groups form? Veronica Pereira was involved in a cultural group, I want to know who else was in it and where they are now and are their any photos or video of that for a website and hopefully a documentary. Can anyone help me?

  7. Jose da Costa says:

    Are there any record of about East Timorese workers for the Baucau Airport and the local Chiefs’ name in Baucau town known as Vila Zalazar from 1960s-1970s?
