THE AUTHOR Paul Cleary Like a western movie in which all of the baddies are redskins , the only villains portrayed in the new Robert Connolly film Balibo are the Indonesians who did the killing, which means this dramatisation of the murder of six journalists in East Timor in 1975 tells only half the story.
