Breaking the Mirror - The Murdoch Effect

The British public were told that the new information technology, heralded by The Sun's move to Wapping, would bring a greater variety of newspapers and a more diverse media. But it produced a contracted press controlled by ever fewer proprietors. John Pilger describes the downfall of his old paper and the all-pervasive influence of Rupert Murdoch.



2001
The New Rulers Of The World

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive documentaries concerning the unfair world we live in., 20 Jun 2009
By Kenneth Andreassen (Norway) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When you're watching John Pilgers documentaries, they speak directly to your soul, they make you think and they make you care about the injustice and unfair reality that conserns so many people. It's awful to see many of the horrific tragedies that Pilger dares to show the world, but it's so important and necessery that he does it, because there are very few journalists and reporters elsewhere that dares to do it, or are allowed to do it. We need to break the silence, and that is exactly what John Pilger does with his documentaries. Buy them and let him open your eyes to the injustice made upon so many people, and the horrible world many people live in. We need to heal the world, to do that we have to care, to care we have to know, Pilger lets us know.
