Passabe is a small village in Suco Abani (Passabe Administrative Post, Oecusse-Ambeno) in Timor-Leste, near the Indonesian border. It was the site of a massacre of East Timorese by pro-Indonesia militias in the follow-up to the 1999 referendum for Timor-Leste’s independence.
In media
[edit]A documentary film, Passabe, directed by James Leong and Lynn Lee, was produced.[1] The film documents the lives of several Passabe residents five years after the violence, including the life of a former militia member, and documented the ways in which the community has come to terms with what happened.[1]
In January 2006, the film was banned at the Jakarta International Film Festival.[2]
