He finds the basic problems unchanged: a desperate, destitute people whose homeland is illegally occupied by the world’s fourth biggest military power. He hears extraordinary stories from Palestinians, though most of his interviews are with Israelis whose voices are seldom heard, including the remarkable witness of a man who lost his daughter in a suicide bombing. This film was nominated for a BAFTA, a British Academy Award.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2003 – Breaking The Silence: Truth and Lies in the War on Terror\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eThis film, set in Afghanistan, Iraq and Washington, looks at President Bush’s ‘war on terror’ and the ‘liberation’ of countries where bloodshed and repression continue. In Afghanistan, Pilger investigates the claim that life has improved for the women of Iraq now that the Taliban have gone. In Washington, he interviews leading American officials, ‘neo-cons’ in the Bush regime. John Bolton, of the State Department, now the US Ambassador to the United Nations, says he regards the figure of 10,000 civilian deaths in Iraq as ‘quite low’. Breaking The Silence won a number of awards and was nominated for a BAFTA.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Running Time: 158 minutes\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003ePAL – Region 4\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e John Pilger Biography\u003cbr\u003e Galleries\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!-- End Description --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size:12px;clear:both\" align=\"center\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.sixbitsoftware.com\/images\/tagline.jpg\" align=\"absbottom\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Powered by SixBit\" longdesc=\"https:\/\/www.sixbitsoftware.com\/images\/tagline.jpg\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePowered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"WOW Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45164291686595,"sku":"406882317550","price":24.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0214\/5004\/files\/57_3709036b-057e-4a7e-bc29-1bd6914d9b9b.jpg?v=1777022126","url":"https:\/\/wowmusic.com.au\/products\/john-pilger-no-middle-ground-in-the-middle-east-3-dvd-1","provider":"WOW Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
