On 13 November 1991, Helen Todd received a phone call every parent dreads. She was told that her 20 year old son, Kamal, had been injured, shot on a small island the world knew little about - East Timor. The nightmare of the next few days intensified until she was finally informed of his death, then blocked from travel to the island by the Indonesian authorities. In her grief, Helen Todd became determined to avenge her sons death. She eventually found a way to fight the Indonesian Government and those responsible in a landmark international court case. As Kamals story unfolds, Punitive Damage is not only a mothers tale of sorrow, but also a testimony to the brutal reality of Indonesias military occupation of East Timor. (One World)
