Balibo is a 2009 Australian feature film that follows the story of the Balibo Five, a group of journalists who were captured and killed whilst reporting on activities just prior to the Indonesian invasion of East Timor in 1975. The film is loosely based on the book Cover-Up, by Jill Jolliffe, an Australian journalist who met the men before they were killed. The book had been a source of controversy because of its criticism of some of the people involved in the campaign for justice.
