Video
From Dili To Tineru
Our video montage starts in Dili: choir-song crackles through a PA as thousands celebrate an outdoor mass for the patron saint of Timor-Leste, Our Lady of Fatima; then we take to the road and head for the mountains, to the remote village of Tineru where traditional skills - and traditional animistic beliefs - survive in the modern day
