I’m including a few Western films (by Ostergard, Pilger and Monnikendam, set in Burma, East Timor and Indonesia respectively) with the best interests of the people at heart.

Films are separated into the Top 16 and the rest, with both sections listed in chronological order. See the source for a list of the films by country.
