Thalidomide: The Ninety-Eight We Forgot

Allied to a four-year Daily Mirror campaign by John Pilger that helped achieve compensation for many of the forgotten and mostly working class victims of the notorious drug prescribed to women during pregnancy. Broadcast in 1974, the theme of Thalidomide: The Ninety-Eight We Forgot was to become a Pilger hallmark: injustice.
