For almost forty years, Australian born journalist and film maker, John Pilger, has been travelling the world documenting the changes to nation states, communities and the lives of individuals as he brings into our lounge rooms pictures of the negative effects of globalisation. His film The New Rulers of the World, examines the effect so called 'global monetary policy' has had in countries such as Indonesia. This once relatively wealthy country has been brought to its knees by the increasingly powerful multinationals and the institutions that back them, most notably the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
John Pilger is one of the worlds most highly acclaimed journalists and documentary filmmakers. Australian born Pilger, who has lived in the UK since the early 1960s, has won numerous awards for his work including two UN Media Peace Prizes. He has also published hundreds of newspaper and magazine articles and almost a dozen books. With over forty films and documentaries to his credit, John Pilger's work constitutes the most definitive critique of Western capitalism and militarist ambition in the popular mass circulation media. ** CD or Cassette only |
