Director's Comment

During the filming, I asked President Shanana and others, "What can Japan do? I thought I would get answers like, "Tell as many people as possible about Timor-Leste," but I got answers like, "Make your world a better place," "Do your job," and "Peace will never come to the world unless the local community becomes healthier in this way. Grandfathers, presidents, they all said the same thing. They all said the same thing: "Real peace will never come unless everyone's life itself becomes peaceful!
