Acclaimed journalist and filmmaker John Pilger discussed the changes that have come over Palestine since the making of his film Palestine is Still the Issue, released in 1974 and 2002.

A screening of the full documentary was shown before the discussion.  Pilger gave Consortium News permission to show the entire film, which is on johnpilger.com, and then he appeared on the show for an hour to talk about it.

YouTube had stopped the film after 16 minutes claiming that it was “Spam or deceptive practices.”
