Yep - just took time off to watch that second movie in full earlier today - and seriously sad shit for which there would never, ever, be an excuse.
Pilger has done some good research and lived in war and conflict zones for years. He covered conflict in East Timor and embarrassed a few govt's who claimed they never provided aircraft and arms to massacre the population - and ended up an expert witness in court over this and where the jury found a group of teachers innocent for their role in destroying military aircraft designated for delivery to East Timor.
He was also one of the last people to sit with the US Ambassador in the embassy during the Vietnam conflict and documented this well - along with the aftermath when US forces were pulled out.
