STEALING A NATION
www.ichblog.eu/index.php?option=com_seyret&task=videodirectlink&id=55626
STEALING A NATION (2004) is an extraordinary film about the plight of
people of the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean - secretly and brutally
expelled from their homeland by British governments in the late 1960s
and early 1970s, to make way for an American military base.
The base, on the main island of Diego Garcia, was a launch pad for the
invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.
Stealing a Nation has won both the Royal Television Society's top award
as Britain's best documentary in 2004-5, and a 'Chris Award' at the
Columbus International Film and Video Festival.
A brochure of the film is available at:
