"Answered by Fire" is a rare wonder which showcases the unbreakable human spirit. David Wenham heads the cast in this beautiful yet harsh TV-mini-series. His performance is truly magnificent as he exudes raw emotion whilst acting during Mark's time at East Timor and also once he returns home, racked with guilt.
The direction given by Jessica Hobbs is flawless as she takes the audience on a journey showing the strength of the East Timorese people as well as the fear. Also the beauty of the country is shown by Hobbs however she lets the audience see the brutality of it at the same time.
Never before have I seen such a well-crafted TV-mini-series like "Answered By Fire". It swept me away with the fantastic character stories set against the canvas of the violent, epic and beautiful backdrop of East Timor.
A flawless mini-series 10/10.
