excellent interview. I’m surprised I havent heard of Pilger before. That trailer of his newest film gave me chills!
David, so many of your latest posts portray the actions of America in a very negative light. All seem to confirm things I was saying several months ago… but when I was saying them you felt I was being anti-American. I wonder what has changed or what your rationale is for highlighting America’s misdeeds in the world?

Yes, I would say that Pilger has lived an interesting life and it would seem, an honorable one. How amazing to have over 50 documentaries under one’s belt.
