Stealing A Nation
John Pilger’s 'Stealing A Nation' (2004) is a film about the plight
of the Chagos Islands, whose indigenous population was secretly and
brutally expelled by British Governments in the late 1960s and early
1970s to make way for an American military base.
The tragedy,
which falls within the remit of the International Criminal Court as "a
crime against humanity", is told by Islanders who were dumped in the
slums of Mauritius and by British officials who left behind a damning
trail of Foreign Office documents.
