4.0 out of 5 stars World Stories, April 6, 2010

This review is from: Documentaries That Changed The World - John Pilger (4 Disc Box Set) [Non-US Format, PAL, Region 2, Import] (DVD)

Vietnam -The Quiet Mutiny (1970
Of tragic days of the Vietnam War, this doco embedded American young men-soldiers' daily routine risking lives unstoppably, missing a very point of religious inspiration undertaking the actions undertaken.


Year Zero-The Silent Death of Cambodia
This doco is a sound monument to lasting international incapability to stop genocide in a modern world more recently in Rwanda and the Balkans as Maoists in Cambodia had exterminated millions of people.
Probably, info on filming arrangements in then Poll Pot Kampuchea could sustain not less interesting doco by an investigating journalist rather naively suggesting that international humanitarian help might be arranged in political vacuum locally.


Death Of A Nation -The Timor Conspiracy
Interesting educative doco provides interesting information on British involvement in Indonesian annexing of East Timor with slight hints on gas reserves local.
No mentioning on religious issues and post-9/11 environment has been provided even with later J. Pilger's commenting.


Palestine Is Still The Issue
Produced in 2002, this documentary substantially convinces a reviewer in a Jewish guilt for a strong willingness to maintain the Jewish State Israel is.

However, such an impression is unworkable in this reviewer's particular case because of knowledge that Palestine was never ever an Arabic political entity and British could not promise what did not belong to them if even an area was ruled by then Great Britain under an international mandate.


In general, if not a pressure of journalist's private opinions, chronicles conclude interesting educative data and testify to personal networking capabilities and talents of Sydneysider preferring the living and working in his historical fatherland.
