STEALING A NATION (John Pilger, 2004) is an
extraordinary film about the plight of people of the Chagos Islands in
the Indian Ocean - secretly and brutally expelled from their homeland by
British governments in the late 1960s and early 1970s, to make way for
an American military base. The base, on the main island of Diego Garcia,
was a launch pad for the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.
Stealing a Nation has won both the Royal Television Society's top award
as Britain's best documentary in 2004-5, and a 'Chris Award' at the
Columbus International Film and Video Festival.
