Black Bullion gives a good hard poke at successive Australian Government policies towards East Timor. The film explains with some dark humour, Australia’s role in stealing wealth from it’s nearest and poorest neighbour, while thousands of grassroots Australians were working to rebuild friendship and trust with East Timorese people.
Black Bullion was made in 2003 in response to the Howard Government’s hard line on East Timor’s right to royalties from oil resources in the Timor Sea and other inhumane policies in a collaborative project produced by the documentary-maker TimeTo Go John
