As the nation of East Timor reclaims its independence, Osme Gonsalves continues a war within himself. Osme Gonsalves is an eccentric performance artist who is deeply frustrated by his young nations political apathy. So he creates a fictional alter-ego as a roving TV reporter called Rambo Marabunta to interrogate his fellow citizens disenchantment with politics in a country he fought for during its past occupation. Rambo quickly gains notoriety on social media and catches the attention of a major national TV station, as he hopes to define a new voice for the future of a nation in East Timors first reality TV show. This is Reality is a film by Chris Phillips.
