Carmela Baranowska In 2006 East Timor was on the brink of civil war. Old regional and political divisions had reignited, leading to a breakdown in law and order, gang warfare, arson and looting. Lives on the Edge is a 22 minute documentary produced for the new Al Jazeera English “Witness” program. It is the first documentary to be made about the current crisis from the perspective of those ordinary people who lived through it. We follow Alexandre, Modesta, Tinho and his pregnant wife Leonisia, four of the 100,000+ internally displaced people. Unfortunately, eighteen months later, the people whose lives were documented continue to be displaced.
