Pilger's Australia
A personal study of the changing face of Australia
John Pilger returns home in a personal study of the changing face of Australia. Filmed over 15 years these films offer an uncompromising look at the social and political shifts for both Aboriginal and white Australians and the changing perceptions of Australia on the domestic and international stage.
Includes:
-Welcome to Australia: In the run-up to the Sydney Olympics, John Pilger and Alan Lowery take a studied look behind the hype and glamour surrounding the games. Australias Aborigines remain excluded, impoverished and mistreated -while their part in the brilliant history of Australias sporting success disgracefully goes virtually unrecognized.
-The Last Dream - Heroes Unsung; Secrets; Other Peoples Wars: In these three films, John Pilger and Alan Lowery return to Australia to celebrate the countrys bicentenary, interviewing an extraordinary range of Australians from diverse backgrounds, each of whose views are a long way from those of the treasured Aussie stereotypes
-The Secret Country -The First Australians Fight Back: John Pilger and Alan Lowery uncover the story of a remarkable people -the Aborigines -whose unique 40,000 year past goes widely unknown and ignored within the borders of white Australia.
