Utopia
Utopia is John Pilger's new feature documentary, made for the cinema and ITV. The Bafta and Emmy winning film-maker and journalist draws on his long association with the first people of his homeland, Australia, whom he first filmed for his seminal The Secret Country (1985).
Utopia is both an epic portrayal of the oldest continuous human culture and an investigation into a suppressed colonial past and rapacious present.
One of the world's best kept secrets is revealed against a background of the greatest boom in mineral wealth.
Has the 'lucky country' inherited South African apartheid? Utopia is both a personal journey and a universal story of power and resistance in the media age driven by old imperatives and presented as liberalism.
Directed by John Pilger and Alan Lowery, edited by Joe Frost and photographed by Preston Clothier. A Dartmouth Films production in association with Network Releasing.
Utopia is released 15th November.
