This erratically fashioned melodrama begins with its very opening sequence as an excessively fabricated version of the actual murder 16 October 1975 in (at the time Portuguese) Timor of five Australian television reporters a deed committed by uniformed criminals from an Indonesian Army task force which guaranteed by this barbaric action that an invasion by Indonesia into Timor could not receive media coverage. These victims customarily referred to as the Balibo Five after the village wherein they were slain are termed as the Timor Five for this film that adds as well a fictitious pair of brothers named Wild who in dubious fashion evaded being massacred with the others subsequently somehow making their way back to the Antipodes whereupon the ensuing behaviour of the brothers four years after is seen here. The older of the brothers Adam Wild (Chard Hayward) makes an unforeseen appearance at Taihape on New Zealand"s North Island (where a good deal of the film was shot) therewith attempting to convince younger brother Kevin (Ivor Kants) toward reappearing with him to the employment field of broadcast journalism obviously believing that his seniority gives him a vested advantage for sibling decision-making. 详情
