New Ruler's of the World

A documentary film by John Pilger

'Global economy' is a modern Orwellian term. On the surface, it is instant financial trading, mobile phones, McDonald's, Starbucks, holidays booked on the net. Beneath this gloss, it is the globalisation of poverty, a world where most human beings never make a phone call and live on less than two dollars a day, where 6,000 children die every day from diarrhea because most have no access to clean water.

This guy is always on the hunt for the real truth of things.

2. Most gaulling moment

Pilger: "Did the Western business interests know that they were dealing not just with a corrupt, nepotistic dictatorship. But with a mass murderer?" (referring to General Suharto)

Flunky from British Chamber of Commerce "That's a very general question....."
