This is Reality: Becoming East Timor’s social media icon
Video duration 25 minutes 00 seconds
As the nation of East Timor regains its independence, Osme Gonsalves continues a war within himself.
Osme Gonsalves is an eccentric performance artist who is deeply frustrated by the political apathy of his young nation. So he creates a fictional alter ego as an itinerant TV reporter named “Rambo Marabunta” to interrogate his fellow citizens’ disenchantment with politics in a country he fought for during the occupation in the past.
“Rambo” quickly gains social media fame and catches the attention of a major national TV station as he hopes to bring a new voice to a nation’s future – in East Timor’s first reality TV show.
This is the reality is a movie by Chris Phillips.
