Two veteran journalists set out to document Israel’s systematic destruction of Gaza’s healthcare system: hospitals attacked, medical workers killed, doctors detained without charge. The BBC commissioned the film. Then pulled it.
Sometimes killing a story is routine. Sometimes it’s a scandal, even immoral.
In this episode, producer Sophie Kazis pulls back the curtain, and goes inside the edits, the delays, and the mounting pressure that shaped the fate of this film.
You can watch the film the BBC wouldn’t air, “Gaza: Doctors Under Attack,” on Zeteo.com.
“Question Everything” is a production of KCRW and Placement Theory. And don’t forget to sign up for our newsletter.
