Stealing a Nation: the U.S. military occupation of Diego Garcia

This award winning documentary by British journalist John Pilger reveals the conspiracy between the U.S. and the U.K. to remove the entire population of Diego Garcia, an atoll in the Chagos archipelago, an Indian Ocean British colony, to make way for the construction of a massive U.S. military base.  Diego Garcia is now one of America’s most important military bases.  But the Chagossian have fought back, and won significant battles in the British courts to win the right to return.   (2004, 55 mins)
