John Pilger is one of the world's pre-eminent investigative
journalists and documentary film-makers. His best-selling books of
reportage, which include Heroes and Hidden Voices, have in the
words of Noam Chomsky 'been a beacon of light in often dark times'.
In Freedom Next Time he looks at five countries, in each of which a
long struggle for freedom has taken place; in each the people,
having shed blood and dreams, are still waiting. In Afghanistan,
Iraq and South Africa there has been the promise of hope, and even
an 'official' freedom, but the reality of these divided societies
is that they are still waiting for real freedom. In Palestine, the
cycle of violence continues with no resolution in sight. And the
island of Diego Garcia, in the Indian Ocean, is a microcosm of the
ruthlessness of great powers. The island was sold by the British to
the American military in the 1960s. The indigenous population,
descended from slaves, were forcibly removed to the slums of Port
Louis in Mauritius. They have continued to fight for the return of
their homeland ever since - three years ago the High Court granted
them the right of return, but this has subsequently been blocked.
The island remains the US's third biggest military base; a base
from which they are able to launch attacks against the Middle East.
Once again John Pilger gives a voice to the people living through
these momentous times and, in gripping detail, shows us the lives
behind the headlines.
