Triumph of the Spirit: Children of the Crocodile

'Children of the Crocodile is a timely, poignant and heart-felt documentary that explores and contrasts the life of Cidalia Pires with that of Elizabeth Exposto, cousins who were born in East Timor, but brought up in Australia. The title of the film comes from the Timorese legend of a stranded baby crocodile who was saved by a young boy. In return, the crocodile repaid the debt by transforming itself into an island which became known as Timor.'
