Stealing A Nation

BUY NOW

The island of Diego Garcia, located in the middle of the Indian Ocean and under Britsh rule, was chosen by the US as the site for their new base, later used to launch air strikes against Iraq and Afghanastan. John Pilger unearths a powerful conspiracy by revealing the terrible human cost paid by the 2000 indigenous people on the island. Brutally removed from their ancestral home, they were relocated against their will and forced to live in abject poverty while the British and American governments strengthened their economic and military relationship.

John Pilger's Australia

BUY NOW

John Pilger returns home, exploring the rich diversity and ingenuity of the Australian culture. But what he discovers is a country that remains affected by a shameful past that continues to resonate from acts of colonial prejudice directed against Australia’s Aboriginal people.

Includes The Secret Country, Welcome To Australia, Heroes Unsung, Secrets and Other People's Wars.

The New Rulers Of The World

BUY NOW

Includes The New Rulers Of The World, War By Other Means and The Ice Cold War.

In The New Rulers, John Pilger explores the impact of globalisation, taking Indonesia as his prime example, a country that the World Bank described as a 'model pupil' until its 'globalised' economy collapsed in 1998. Under scrutiny are the increasingly powerful multinationals and the institutions that back them, notably the IMF and The World Bank.

War By Other Means examines the policy of First World banks in undertaking loans with Third World countries, and expose the humanitarian/social issues that arise when these countries are unable to meet the crippling interest charges.

And Burp! Pepsi v Coke in The Ice Cold War looks at the worldwide struggle for soft drink supremacy by the Coca Cola Company, illuminating the overwhelming power of multinational corporations over poorer countries and their struggling economies.

No Middle Ground In The Middle East

BUY NOW

Includes Paying The Price, Palestine Is Still The Issue and Breaking the Silence.

In Paying The Price: Killing the Children of Iraq (2000), John Pilger travels to Iraq with Denis Halliday, a former assistant secretary-general of the United Nations who resigned over what he called the "immoral policy" of economic sanctions. There they find a suffering nation held hostage to the compliance of a dictator, Saddam Hussein, over whom they have no control.

In Palestine Is Still The Issue, Pilger returns to the Occupied Territories of the West Bank and Gaza where he filmed a documentary with the same title, about the same issues, in 1974. He finds the basic problems unchanged: a desperate, destitute people whose homeland is illegally occupied by the world's fourth biggest military power.

Breaking the Silence: Truth and Lies in the War on Terror (2003) is set in Afghanistan, Iraq and Washington. It analyses President Bush's 'war on terror' and the so-called 'liberation' of countries where bloodshed and repression continue.

John Pilger's Return Ticket

BUY NOW

Includes South Africa: Apartheid Did Not Die, Frontline: In Search Of Truth In Wartime and Vietnam: The Last Battle.

John Pilger was banned from South Africa for his reporting during the apartheid era. On his return thirty years later to film Apartheid Did Not Die (1988) with Alan Lowery, he describes the extraordinary generosity of a liberated people, but asks who are the true beneficiaries of a democracy - the black majority or the white minority?

In Frontline, Pilger traces the changing face of war-reporting from the Crimea through the two World Wars to Vietnam and the Falklands. And in Vietnam: The Last Battle, he attempts to rescue Vietnam's past from media oblivion and describes its last battle against the forces of globalisation.
