24 May 14: "On May 31, John Pilger’s latest film, Utopia will air on SBS television. New Matilda owner/editor Chris Graham worked as an Associate Producer on the film. In this special feature, he provides an inside look at the making of Utopia. SOMETIMES in life, you can feel pretty helpless. That said, I’m a privileged white guy in a privileged white society. So for me at least, it doesn’t happen very often. It happened last year." By Chris Graham

The Stringer: A long way to go for 'Utopia'
http://thestringer.com.au/a-long-way-to-go-for-utopia/
26 May 14: "Twenty-eight years have passed since John Pilger’s insightful documentary, ‘The Secret Country’. Those who have not seen ‘The Secret Country’ please do watch it. It is there to be viewed freely on the internet. And then after watching Pilger’s newest documentary ‘Utopia’, you will find little has changed, and indeed much has gotten worse. John Pilger returned to Australia to produce ‘Utopia’, following the impost of the Northern Territory Intervention. ... In the documentary ‘Utopia’, Amnesty International’s Secretary-General, Salil Shetty asked the question – why is one of the world’s richest countries unable (or unwilling) to end the extreme poverty of only tens of thousands of First Peoples."
