Documentary



The War You Don't See (2010)







The War You Don't See is a 2010 British documentary film written, produced and directed by John Pilger with Alan Lowery, which challenges the media for the role they played in the Iraq, Afghanistan, and Israel/Palestine conflicts.

The War You Don’t See analyses propaganda as a weapon in Iraq and Afghanistan. The title refers to censorship by omission – ‘the most virulent form of censorship,’ said Pilger – and the collusion of journalists in nominally free societies such as Britain and the United States.

The film begins with shocking footage from Iraq in 2007. An American Apache gunship opens fire on a Baghdad street, killing in cold blood two Reuter journalists, along with Iraqi civilians. There is no provocation – the victims are unarmed. One of the Apache crew comments ‘Nice’ as he murders people at a safe distance. Titled ‘Collateral Murder’, the video was leaked to WikiLeaks by soldier Bradley (later Chelsea) Manning.

‘Selling’ the 2003 invasion of Iraq is the centrepiece of Pilger's film. The news media is exposed as a source of illusions, such as a non-existent link between Saddam Hussein and the attacks of 9/11. A CIA witness says the primary aim of intelligence supplied by the Pentagon is to manipulate public opinion.

In a series of remarkable interviews, prominent journalists in Britain and the United States agree that, had they and their colleagues challenged rather than amplified and echoed the deceptions of their governments, the invasion of Iraq might not have happened.

Former CBS newscaster Dan Rather tells Pilger that ‘tough, digging, aggressive questions’ might have prevented the war, while Rageh Omaar, the BBC's man in Iraq, says, 'We failed to press the most uncomfortable buttons hard enough,’ and reporter David Rose – who campaigned in The Observer for the invasion – refers to ‘the pack of lies fed to me by a fairly sophisticated disinformation campaign’ and agrees that journalists are guilty of war crimes.

Perspectives such as these, coming from a notoriously defensive industry, are rare – as is the appearance of the editor-in-chief of ITV News and the BBC’s head of newsgathering, who defend an institutional bias, not altogether convincingly.

Previously unscreened footage shows a 2004 attack on the Iraqi city of Fallujah by American and British forces that left thousands dead. An independent American journalist’s report and photographs of mass graves never appeared in mainstream media. In occupied Palestine, reports Pilger, the intimidation and killing of non-Western journalists by the Israelis are seldom reported.

The War You Don't See marks the rise of WikiLeaks, whose founder and editor-in-chief, Julian Assange, tells Pilger that his organisation gives ‘conscientious objectors’ within ‘power systems’ a means of informing the public directly, a landmark in journalism.

‘The lives of countless men, women and *****ren depend on the truth,’ concludes Pilger, ‘or their blood is on those of us who are meant to keep the record straight.’

Hi Resurgence,

Liking the thread so far...

Keep up the good work  

Looks good and I like it how you concentrate all the links into one thread so there's definitely a lot of very interesting reading here..

I'm sorry if I can't read all of it I'm always busy and don't have a great deal of time to look at things, regardless of that it still looks good and also the "Photo of the day" is very interesting also and I have to say they are excellent pictures with great photography work indeed..

Better to have all links in the same thread and not scattered across different threads, a bit in the same idea as our other friend here in the other thread..

All the best Resurgence for 2023, let's hope it's a fairly good year.

[CaptButler]

All of the deceptive and malevolent link spam in the world will do nothing whatever to alter the outcome in the war of conquest going on in Ukraine.  The dictator will fall as dictators always do:  the victim of his own miscalculation and overreach.

[RodneyYouPlonker]

[...]the outcome in the war of conquest going on in Ukraine.[...] 

The outcome of what's happening in Ukraine is due to more than just one person, surely somebody as bright as you can see that or maybe you don't fully see the full picture of understanding?

[CaptButler]

[...]the outcome in the war of conquest going on in Ukraine.[...] 

The outcome of what's happening in Ukraine is due to more than just one person, surely somebody as bright as you can see that or maybe you don't fully see the full picture of understanding?

I can fully see that your strawman argument will also have no impact on the ultimate result.

This thread is not exactly the place for such debate but you seem to think that this is your entitlement.  Maybe go and try on another thread, leave Resurgence alone in future and let him get on with what he's doing as clearly your input into the discussion is not one of the pleasant variety, more just the anti russian mafia from which you broadcast such spiel in relation to the other 'friend' as mentioned previously...

[Resurgence]

RodneyYouPlonker,

Thank you for your positive feedback about the thread and your kind words.

I'm glad that the thread is meaningful to you.

I wish you and the other readers all the best in the year ahead.
