WATCH NOW - Gaza: Doctors Under Attack on @channel4 in the UK and @zeteonews worldwide.
02 Jul 2025
APOLOGIES TO BE CLEAR: We are relieved that the BBC will finally allow this film to be released back to Basement Films, so that we can release it to the world. For a period of weeks from March onwards they told us several times verbally and by email they had approved this film for broadcast, that it was a vital piece of public service journalism, and that it was categorically not being delayed because of the Johnston report. They gave us no less than 6 different release dates, and it was subjected to a long and repeated compliance process as well as scrupulous fact checking.
They then apologised and reversed their position and said that it would be subject to the recommendations of the Johnston report; but they did not know what those recommendations would be, nor when it the report would be out. It has been clear since then that they had no intention of releasing this film in the form they had actually already approved.
Our argument all along has been to tell the story of the Doctors and medics as soon as possible, people whom we convinced to talk to us despite their own reservations that the BBC would ever tell their stories.
We would like to thank all the BBC people who worked on this film, those who approved it, those who praised and lauded it, and the scores of BBC staff members; on air editors, correspondents, producers, managers, technical staff and freelancers who told us to keep fighting and gave us sound advice, wrote group letters to their bosses, and asked us to keep fighting to have the film released as approved. Although the BBC are now taking their names off this film, it will remain theirs, and we hope it serves to open up the debate on how the nation’s broadcaster covers what is happening in Gaza, and that people feel free to speak up and speak out, rather than stay silent or leave, and at some point get the journalistic leadership they deserve.
But most of all we would like to thank the Doctors and contributors and survivors, and to apologise for not believing them when they said the BBC would never run a film like this. It turned out they were right.

If you haven’t seen our latest Gaza film, and most people haven’t because it’s gone under the radar, please watch it. It’s not been reviewed in any papers, or by any podcasters, but it reveals the morally broken mechanics of this country’s foreign policy through unseen documents, and the way in which our politicians bent international law to breaking point. Watch and share it here https://www.channel4.com/programmes/britains-gaza-secrets-exposed-dispatches
It’s the fourth film; but it’s perhaps the most important, because Gaza shouldn’t happen again, but it will if the same pattern of international indifference is repeated.
We tried to investigate why the UK government allowed Gaza to happen in front of our eyes and did virtually nothing, showing what you might describe as the banality of the evil of doing nothing, or very little. We expose the politicians involved in watching the slaughter in Gaza, who received detailed assessments of Israel’s conduct and then consistently pretended there was nothing to see. Who repeatedly declared Israel was complying with international law, whilst the UN and virtually every other human rights organisation was deciding it was committing genocide.
The other three films were trying to show what happened whilst it happened, to fill the strange void between social media and TV; Kill Zone; Inside Gaza went out in in June 2024, won an Emmy & other awards & focused on the lives of civilians as the onslaught was unleashed; https://www.channel4.com/programmes/kill-zone-inside-gaza-dispatches. The second, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCmiGl5aSD4 Israel’s Reel Extremism was for Zeteo, went out in August 2024, and it charted Israeli soldiers’ social media posts, who then defended their posts and their actions.
The third, https://www.channel4.com/programmes/gaza-doctors-under-attack Gaza: Doctors Under Attack chronicled the destruction of the Gaza health service and the killing of 1700 medics. It won 3 BAFTAs & other awards.
We’re very proud of these films, but we’re scratching our heads a bit as to why no one is speaking about what our government knew and what they didn’t do; we need to shout about it.

Congratulations Navi !
There is no better or more worthy recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize than Navi Pillay, whom it has been my honour and relief to know as a journalist for almost 20 years. I first came across her in South Africa, but from 2008-2014 she was the main reason why the United Nations was steadfast in trying to investigate what happened at the end of Sri Lanka’s civil war where an estimated 40,000 people were killed in a matter of weeks. Our investigations on the news, which led to multiple allegations from the Sri Lankan government of falsehood and 6 OFCOMs against us- all of which we won, eventually became the basis for https://www.channel4.com/programmes/sri-lankas-killing-fields and a UN war crimes investigation done by a panel of experts. We leant on her a lot in her position as UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and it was my honour to appear on panels about the film and investigation. Without her steadfast work, we would not have had the bedrock of evidence and to be honest simple honest legal common sense.
The mass killing of civilians, in order to defeat the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka became a terrible blueprint for armies and regimes around the world, the latest iteration of which is Gaza. She refused to be intimidated then by the Sri Lankan government, as she refuses to be intimidated by the Israeli government following her Commission report that found Israel is committing genocide, and then went on to find Israel has deliberately targeted children https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2025/09/israel-has-committed-genocide-gaza-strip-un-commission-finds.
We interviewed her for our investigation into who knew what when and how complicit our politicians are in Gaza, which aired two weeks ago on Channel 4 – but regrettably very few have seen. Incredibly it is one of her only appearances talking about her Commission Inquiry into Gaza; please watch and share the film here - https://www.channel4.com/programmes/britains-gaza-secrets-exposed-dispatches
We will be reprising Ramita Navai’s interview with her and putting it up in full asap.

It has been an incredibly inspiring few days showing our “Gaza: Doctors Under Attack” film around the Basque country in Bilbao and Donastia (San Sebastian) with the incredible people from the @gernika_palestina_itzubaltzeta Herri Ekimena, namely Eneko Gerrikabeitia. Guernica was the birthplace of the targeting and killing of civilians from the air by German and Spanish fascists almost 100 years ago; Gaza is the most recent deadly iteration of it.
Last night we showed it in Bilbao where a very informed audience interrogated every aspect of it, before the South African artist and cartoonist @iam_nkosinathi took the stage to help launch the basque translation of his Gaza colouring book for kids.
Today the film was screened at the Donastia University philosophy department to a group of very engaged students who again asked amazing questions for over an hour. We have now shown this film in hundreds of screenings across the world; to all UK universities/academics reading this we are very happy to show and discuss this film at your institute, and the huge pressures you felt before not to do so can now be disregarded.
The last question last night was about a woman called Waad; she had made a film in Syria and was showing it in Bilbao and being given a major award. Did I know her- yes….the film; yes. Reader here we are at the airport, more than ten years on, @waadalkateab, Hamza and I queueing in the same non-EU passport line, and grumbling about it. The arc of history is long, but it bends towards justice, sometimes.https://www.ehu.eus/eu/web/campusa/-/-gaza-doctors-under-attack-dokumentala-euskal-herrian-estreinakoz-proiektatu-da-ehun-ben-de-pear-ekoizlearen-eskutik?utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=Campusa-newsletter-349&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Kronika_eu

Tomorrow night Thursday 24th September on @channel4 at 2305- our 4th @basementfilms2 film on Gaza- because it never ends, and we can't look away. We have spent a year looking at hundreds of UK internal government documents on Israel's actions in Gaza, how the @foreignanddevelopmentoffice assessed their compliance with international law, and what the politicians did about it. How could the UK continue exporting arms for so long ? Thanks to all @basementfilms2 @channel4 @c4dispatches @senoritaramita @karimalishah @menna_hijazi_ @jenny.smith86 @leeleerainb and of course as ever all our team in Gaza
