Documentaries That Changed The World - Vol. 2: John Pilger's Australia (3 Disc Set)

Over an impressive 35 year career John Pilger’s determination to uncover the truth and unearth the facts underlying numerous social and political injustices has taken him to every corner of the globe.

Now, for the first time on DVD 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.

Welcome to Australia
With the run-up to the Sydney olympics, John Pilger and Alan Lowery take a studied look behind the hype and glamour surrounding the games. Australia’s Aborigines remain excluded, impoverished and mistreated - while their part in the brilliant history of Australia’s sporting success disgracefully goes virtually unrecognized.

The Last Dream: Heroes Unsung; Secrets; Other People’s Wars
In these three films, John Pilger and Alan Lowery return to Australia to celebrate the country’s 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.
