In an article for the Guardian, timed with a season of his own
documentaries at the Barbican, John Pilger pays tribute to 'that most
powerful and subversive medium, the political documentary' - 'at its
best, fearless, and able to show the politically unpalatable and to make
sense of the news' and he urges support for those, like 'citizen'
documentary makers, who break through the insidious censorship of
'current affairs'.
