Aroview: Four of journalist John Pilger's most important documentaries, that exemplify his fiercely humanist perspective which makes few concessions to officialdom or international "consensus".

The Quiet Mutiny (1970) - This concerns the shifting morale of Western troops posted to Vietnam.

Do You Remember Vietnam (1978) - Three years after the American pullout from Saigon, Pilger returned to Vietnam to examine the state of the country in the face of international sanctions.

Year Zero: The Silent Death of Cambodia (1979) - One of Pilger's most revelatory documentaries, uncovering the bloody reign of Pol Pot in Cambodia, which was quietly ignored by Western governments.

Death of a Nation: The Timor Conspiracy (1994) - A horrifying expose of the West's complicity in the twenty-year genocide at East Timor.
