They won the war with courage and sacrifice. Now they fight for the future through forgiveness and reconciliation. A HERO’S JOURNEY is an exploration of the nature and power of forgiveness. East Timor’s leader and President, anana Gusmao, is the vehicle of this exploration. His story is a microcosm of the history of Timor-Leste’s (East Timor) struggle for independence, and the young country’s current fight for freedom from hatred, and for a viable future as an independent nation. Gusmao’s long journey through war and prison, and his personal transformation from bitterness to “peace of mind” tells an intimate and empowering story of the courageous journey to forgiveness and true liberty.
