John Pilger will be honoured for his documentary filmmaking(UKPA)-Pioneering film-maker John Pilger is to be honoured for his achievements with one of the highest accolades in the British documentary world.
Pilger is well known for his hard-hitting and controversial documentaries of the 1970s but continues to make films.
The Australian-born journalist - who made his name when he moved to the UK in the 1960s - is to be rewarded for his outstanding contribution at the annual awards of the Grierson Trust next month.
Among his best-known films are the Vietnam documentary The Quiet Mutiny, exposing the rebellion within the US army at the time of the Vietnam war, and Cambodia Year Zero, credited with exposing the horrors of the Pol Pot regime.
Pilger, who has made 58 films, has previously been awarded a TV Bafta for his work and has twice been named journalist of the year.
Dawn Airey, who chairs the Grierson Trust, said: "He is one of the world's great documentary producers. His work has uncovered atrocity, probed the underbelly of society, sparked controversy and challenged the heart of democracy."
Pilger, 72, will be handed the Honda Grierson Trustees' Award at the Trust's ceremony on November 1. The awards were established in 1972 to celebrate documentary makers.

John Pilger is a great journalist from UK, reporting about the Killing Fields. However, he did not know that secret Yuon/Vietgook Masters in Hanoi were behind the Killing Fields beginning 1975 to 1979. I wish John Pilger should dig deeper about who are the Khmer Rouges in the blind eyes of the gullible innocent Khmer people, foreigners, UN and International Communities.
Vietcong/Yuon gook masters from Hanoi had the secret plan and played the hidden roles inside the Khmer Rouges armies and military, kidnapping or toppling Pol Pot during the Killing Fields. Those hidden and dangerous secret Yuon/Vietgooks agents could write and speak Khmer/Cambodian language so well. They were very smart, but very evil and dangerous to innocent Khmer people by that times. Some of them see the opportunity to play the trick because they knew that Pol Pot was Chinese, making the world confuse that Chinese Maoist Communist plan on Killing all the Khmer people and took land instead, but Vietgook master played a very keen roles by declaring Chinese involved and Khmer Rouges killed their own people. Just find out where words "Angkar Leur/Cap Tren" came from. Yes, those words came from Communist Masters in Hanoi, Vietgook/Yuon Hell Country. There is more to say, want all intelligent Khmer people and people of the world can do the research to find the facts and evidences.
Don't blame John Pilger because he did not know. But the British journalist was killed by secret and hidden Yuon agents among Khmer Rouges. The United States did not know about the evil Vietgook masters who are behind all the wars and Cambodian Killing Fields. Just want Khmer people to wake and be ware of Vietcong's hidden agenda.
