Stealing a Nation
(film)
Stealing a Nation is a documentary by journalist filmmaker John Pilger about the expulsion of Chagos Islanders from Diego Garcia. They were forcibly removed by the British government between 1967 and 1973 to Mauritius, 1,000 miles away, so that the island could be used as an American airbase.
It was the recipient of the Royal Television Society's
Best British Documentary award in 2004.
Chagossians (also known as Ilois and Chagos Islanders) are a group of Creole-speaking people. They are mostly of African origin, namely from Madagascar, Mozambique, Somalia and people from other African nations who were in Ile de France (Mauritius) at the time of the settlement, but there is a small proportion of South Indian descent in the genetic pool of the Chagossians as well.
