1. John Pilger has many EXCELLENT Documentaries - not available in US
John Pilger has several REALLY KICK-ASS documentaries, the kind of stuff we desperately need to open people's eyes to the realities of US foreign policy and the effects of neo-liberalization and "free markets".

They are not available in the US, or they have exorbitant prices - like $275 to rent a copy - meant for a school or institution.

I don't know if it's copyright law or what, but I really wish Pilger's documentaries could be made widely available and inexpensive in the US.

I did save the one at InformationClearingHouse to my hard drive. Thanks for the link.

5. Investigates conditions in Afghanistan and Iraq
He brings light to the atrocities occuring in Afghanistan against women and touches on the history of the Northern Alliance.

It also investigates the state of Iraq's WMD's before the war as well as the timing of the decision to go to war having been long before Bush presents it to the public.
