Gaza: Doctors Under Attack wins BAFTA award after BBC rejection

The documentary Gaza: Doctors Under Attack won the current affairs award at the BAFTA Television Awards after previously being dropped by BBC and later broadcast by Channel 4. The film examines attacks on medical workers and healthcare facilities in the Gaza Strip during the war.

Journalist Ramita Navia said during remarks following the award that the documentary represented “the findings of our investigation, that the BBC paid for but refused to show”.  

In his acceptance speech, Ben De Pear called out the broadcaster, which  initially commissioned the documentary before shelving it, citing that airing it would create a “perception of partiality”.
