John Pilger is a world-renowned journalist, author
and documentary filmmaker, who began his career
in 1958 in his homeland, Australia, before moving
to London in the 1960s.
He regards eye-witness as the essence of good
journalism. He has been a foreign correspondent
and a front-line war reporter, beginning with the
Vietnam war in 1967. He is an impassioned critic
of foreign military and economic adventures by
Western governments.
He believes a journalist also ought to be a
guardian of the public memory and often quotes
Milan Kundera: “The struggle of people against
power is the struggle of memory against
forgetting.”
“John Pilger’s work has been a beacon of light in
often dark times. The realities he has brought to
light have been a revelation, over and over again,
and his courage and insight a constant inspiration.” NOAM CHOMSKY
“John Pilger unearths, with steely attention, the
facts, the filthy truth, and tells it as it is.” HAROLD PINTER
