Date: 2012-01-09

Celebrating 20th Anniversary of ETAN, East Timor and Indonesia Action Network, Foreign Reporter and Activist Allan Nairn recounts how the people of East Timor rose up against Indonesia's military dictatorship in 1991. After great loss of life it eventually led to their independence when US activists successfully pressured the US government to condition further military aid to Indonesia upon their ceasing violence against the East Timorese. Allan offers perspective on current popular uprisings like Occupy Wall Street. John Miller of ETAN hosts the evening. Video by Joe Friendly.
