Synopsis
STARTING FROM ZERO is the story about three people exiled from East Timor in their youth. Twenty-four years later they've returned to their shattered homeland to contribute to its reconstruction. Meet Ines Almeida, Lola dos Reis and Jacinto Tinocu - three Australian-East Timorese - who are now embarking on arguably the most challenging experience of their lives. STARTING FROM ZERO provides an intimate insight into these individuals as they juggle their aspirations and expectations within two very different cultural experiences.
