Twenty years ago, terrorism came to Australia’s doorstep and shocked the nation. BALI 2002 is the inspiring true story of how everyday heroes from Bali, Australia and beyond defied the odds to bring order from chaos and hope from despair.
12th October 2002, the island of Bali is shattered by a terrorist attack on two of Kuta Beach’s busiest nightclubs.
Local Balinese and the mainly Australian and British tourists scramble to rescue the injured and comfort the dying. Australian and Indonesian authorities mobilise to evacuate survivors, identify victims and investigate what really took place. Amidst this chaos, heroes arise from the most unlikely places and cultures unite in the search for healing, justice and meaning.
Victims struggle to rebuild their broken lives as the Indonesian and Australian security forces face a clear and present danger – they must work together to capture the terrorists before they strike again. But even if justice can be achieved, can it bring true healing and redemption?
