Description
In his hard-hitting documentary film, Breaking The Silence: Truth And Lies In The War On Terror, award-winning journalist and documentary filmmaker, John Pilger, dissects the truth and lies in this so-called ‘war on terror.’
The 9/11 attacks sparked sweeping changes in US foreign and security policy, which President George W Bush characterised as the ‘war on terror.’ It was these policies that led to confrontation with extremist groups like al-Qaeda and prefaced the invasion of both Afghanistan and Iraq.
Pilger investigates the discrepancies between American and British claims supporting this ‘war’ and the facts on the ground as he finds them in Afghanistan and Washington, DC. The result is an unflinching film that doesn’t pull any punches.
Dir. Steve Connelly, John Pilger. 2003. (adv E)
