2 SeriesJohn Pilger is an Australian journalist, documentary filmmaker, and author of non-fiction books. He has been honored as Britain's Journalist of the Year twice and has received awards in both the UK and the US.
In "Freedom Next Time," John Pilger explores the ongoing struggles for freedom in five countries: Afghanistan, Iraq, South Africa, Palestine, and Diego Garcia. Despite promises of hope and official freedom, Afghanistan, Iraq, and South Africa remain divided and unfree. Palestine is trapped in a relentless cycle of violence. Diego Garcia, sold to the American military by the British, sees its indigenous population fighting to return to their homeland, now a major U.S. military base. Pilger vividly captures the lives of those enduring these tumultuous times, shedding light on the human stories behind the headlines.
