The political journey of Canadian photographer Elaine Brière from the villages of East Timor to the halls of the United Nations in an effort to find out Ottawa's rational for abandoning the tiny nation of East Timor to corporate interests in Indonesia.
Is the story of a generation of thieves who achieved their greatest victories in the sixties; their distinctive code of ethics, the various categories of delinquents inhabiting the citys streets, their alliances with high ranking police officials that allowed them to operate, the betrayals that followed, and the price they ended up paying.
