‘Gaza: Doctors Under Fire’ Wins BAFTA After BBC Broadcast Controversy
May 12, 2026
The truth just got the ultimate validation in London. Last night at the 2026 BAFTA TV Awards, the documentary Gaza: Doctors Under Attack took home the prize for Best Current Affairs film and the acceptance speech was an absolute firestorm.
The BBC originally commissioned and paid for this documentary, but then they got cold feet. They rejected it and refused to air it, trying to bury the reality of what’s happening to healthcare workers in Gaza. But you can’t kill a story this important, Channel 4 stepped up, broadcast it in the UK, and now it’s an award-winning masterpiece.
Executive producer Ben de Pear and journalist Ramita Navai called out the cowardice of the networks that try to play impartial while a genocide is being livestreamed.
Ramita Navai dedicated the award to the 1,700+ Palestinian healthcare workers who have been killed and the hundreds more currently being tortured in detention centers.
The team honored the Gazan reporters and cinematographers, the ones who stayed under the bombs to film the reality of hospitals under siege while the rest of the world watched from a distance.
The award was dedicated to journalists and medics braving the wars in Gaza, Iran, and Lebanon.
BRAVO TO THE TRUTH-TELLERS! THE COVER-UP FAILED. 🇵🇸

English Script:
Ethan Levins: A $100 million Iron Dome system has just been destroyed by a $50 F5 drone. This is crazy. The Lebanese resistance released this video, and it’s from northern Israel. And there’s no defense in the world for this drone. Do you understand that Israel will never be safe again? Because these systems are going to be destroyed one by one. This little drones, $50 and it can be obtained by the thousands. And if you go to try to repair this iron dome, you’re going to get hit by the drone again because they’re in the skies. There’s no defense for them. And if you watch this video right here, you’ll realize you have seconds till you know they’re there. These videos aren’t even out of occupied Lebanon. This is in northern Israel. These drones have proven that the Israeli army will never be safe again ever. And if you bring a tank into southern Lebanon, $6 million to be blown up by a $50 drone, that can be produced by the thousands. And if you’re wondering, this is it right here, this tiny little drone that a lot of us flew when we were children, that’s it. Not possible to shoot down, not possible to detect. This is going to be a permanent problem for the Israelis.
