Synopsis:

No German review yet:
This is the first definitive collection of ground-breaking documentaries from John Pilger's career as a world renowned film-maker, author and investigative journalist. The title, Heroes, is taken from one of his films and his seminal book (1986), which celebrates the struggles and heroism of ordinary people all over the world.

Beginning as a journalist in his native Australia before moving to London, John Pilger has been the recipient of multiple awards, including Britain's highest award for journalism, twice, and television academy awards in both the UK and the United States. He has been a foreign correspondent and frontline war reporter, and is a regular contributor to international media, including the ITV Network, the Guardian and the New Statesman. An incisive and rare critic of Western economic and military power, Pilger's humane eyewitness reporting has been described as a unique presence on British television that explores where others dare not go.

This 16-disc set brings together almost four decades of landmark journalism, including, for the first time, The Outsiders, Pilger's Channel 4 series of interviews, along with the award-winning cinema film The War on Democracy and an updated edition of Anthony Hayward's filmography of Pilger's work.

Special Features:

* The War on Democracy - John Pilger's latest film, made especially for cinema, inverts the propaganda of the "war on terror" and reveals that Washington is actually waging a war on democracy around the world, with Latin America as both the historical model and an inspirational source of democratic resistance.
* All nine films of The Outsiders, including rare interviews with Martha Gellhorn, Wilfred Burchett, Jessica Mitford and Costa Gavras.
* Breaking the Silence: the television reporting of John Pilger a specially updated edition of Anthony Hayward's book on John Pilger's body of work.
* Introductory booklet on John Pilger's films written by the historian Mark Curtis.
* John Pilger in conversation with Anthony Hayward at the Guardian Hay Literary Festival 2006.
