- "All Her Scars" is a movie presenting the story of Bella Galhos, who has been fighting for both the freedom of East Timor and women's rights. It is a story full of pain but also love. Her life perfectly reflects problems that East Timor has been facing. In 1975, 9 days after gaining independence from Portugal, the country was attacked by Indonesia. Brutal, lasting 24 years occupation totally destroyed the country, and every fourth citizen died. The world was turning a blind eye while Timorese people were brutally murdered, were dying of starvation when hiding from the occupant in the mountains, and Timorese women were being sterilized. Bella Galhos experienced all of this suffering related to occupation. But she never gave up, and as a teenager she started to fight for the freedom of her country. And she was successful. Today, she's fighting for making a life easier, especially for those that are the most unprivileged; namely, women and children. Bella was brave enough to talk about violence that was present in her family. Drawing on her own experience, she helps Timorese women understand that they don't have to agree to violence in their homes. In her mother's hometown, Maubisse, she runs a social initiative as well as a Leublora Green School. She teaches ecological agriculture to the local community, which makes it easier for them to escape poverty.
