Just to add to Anthony's input, As far as I know Pilger covered the Veitnam war. He also wrote a book under the title "Last Day In Saigon" back in 1972. Other well known documentaries were: The Killing Fields (Pol Pot regime in Kambodia) and a further documentary on the Australian Aboriginies (title escapes my memory at the moment). A couple of years ago he made a documentary about the origins of Australians in which he traced his own ancestries. John appeared in many TV/Radio discussions in the UK during the Gulf War, were he took a stance against the war. I hope this helps.
