John Pilger – TRANSCEND Media Service

Watch the John Pilger Film That Defied a Campaign to Ban It and Told a Timeless Truth

John Pilger’s 2002 film Palestine Is Still The Issue bore the same title as his film 24 years earlier. Shown on ITV in Britain and around the world, the film and Pilger were attacked by a virulent trolls’ campaign in the US, including death threats, and finally vindicated by the Independent Television Commission as a work of “thoroughness and historical integrity”. With the present-day massacre of Palestinians by Israeli snipers on the border with Gaza the film tells a timeless truth. You can watch it here.
