John Pilger's 'Stealing a Nation', has won the Royal Television Society's top award as Britain's best documentary in 2004-5. The coveted RTS award, announced at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London on 15 March, goes to a film, said the judges, "displaying refreshingly unfashionable passion and forensic skill". Stealing a Nation reveals the extraordinary story of the secret expulsion of the entire population of the Chagos islands in the Indian Ocean by successive British governments, so that the principal island, Diego Garcia, could be handed to the United States as a major military base. It is from this base that American aircraft have attacked Iraq and Afghanistan. |
