Justice and human struggle around the globe have been the recurring themes throughout John Pilger's thirty years of making television documentaries. The Australian-born, British-based journalist has covered many of the world's major upheavals and his films have celebrated the victories of ordinary people against authority.
'In the Name of Justice' examines the journalist and his long career on the small screen, one unparalleled by others outside regular current affairs programs, both for sheer volume of work and the remarkable effects of his films. Anthony Hayward's book details all the programs, their effects and controversies, compares them with TV's other factual output and discovers how John Pilger defies the broadcaster's conventional notions of "impartiality" and "balance" to present a truth that is often unpalatable to authority.
