John Pilger, probably the world's leading documentary maker, has released two box sets of his documentaries (still only a selection of his huge output). A great resource for teaching, especially as libraries are generally happy to lend DVDs.

The sets do not include his latest 'The War on Democracy' which is available from his website. This film was broadcast on 20 August in the UK on ITV: Naspir member Ruth Blakeley (University of Kent) was principal academic consultant for the film.
