Passabe

Passabe is a small village in Suco Abani (Passabe Administrative Post, Oecusse-Ambeno), near the Indonesian border.

It was the site of a massacre of East Timorese by pro-Indonesia militias in the follow-up to the 1999 referendum for East Timor's independence.

A documentary film, Passabe, directed by James Leong and Lynn Lee, was produced.

The film documents the lives of several Passabe residents five years after the violence, including the life of a former militia member, and documented the ways in which the community has come to terms with what happened.
