Millie Skoko had never really thought much about her Mum’s side
of the family, who are Chinese Timorese, and who came to live in
Australia in the early 1970s. Until one day, when she was online,
Millie discovered her Grandfather’s former home and building,
Toko Lay, in stories about the Indonesian invasion of East Timor,
in December 1975. This discovery leads Millie, in tandem with her
mum Lorraine, on a quest to uncover the hidden history of the
Chinese-Timorese community in Timor-Leste and hear from the
survivors who experienced waves of violence at the hands of the
invading forces.
