I was 13 years old when my history teacher showed me and my classmates the video taken during the Santa Cruz Massacre in Timor-Leste, just 23 years prior. She told us that it was because of that video that the whole world knew what was happening in Timor and pressured countries to help Timor-Leste become an independent country. As I went home that day, with those images in my mind, I asked my parents why they decided to move from Brazil (our home country) to a torn apart nation. Surprisingly, they told me it was because 23 years ago, they saw that exact same footage. This has stuck with me...
