Gaza: Doctors Under Attack
[NO TRAILER AVAILABLE]
This crucial film is the stuff of nightmares. But the world needs to see it.
The film the BBC refused to air shows the targeting, detainment and torture of medics in Gaza.
Its relentless timeline of horrors will never leave you.
Gaza: Doctors Under Attack is a thorough forensic investigation into Israeli military attacks on hospitals in Gaza. The film also examines allegations of the targeting and abuse of doctors and healthcare workers in Gaza.
The BBC dropped Doctors Under Attack due to the risk that it created “a perception of partiality”. However, it is hard to square that claim with the film that has aired on British Channel 4.
Clarification has been sought from the IDF at every turn. The events of 7 October 2023 are shown here just as graphically as the footage of injured Palestinian children. The film-makers understand that the slightest sign of bias would collapse the argument.
In an open letter before its broadcast, Channel 4’s Louisa Compton warned that Doctors Under Attack would “make people angry, whichever side they take.” She is right.
This is the sort of television that will never leave you. It will provoke an international reaction, and for extremely good cause. Forget what got it stopped at the BBC. It is here now and, regardless of how that happened, we owe it to the subjects to not look away.
