An open letter signed by over 600 cultural figures, including Oscar-winning actress Susan Sarandon and filmmaker Mike Leigh, criticized the BBC for delaying the broadcast of 'Gaza: Medics Under Fire.' The signatories argue that the delay reflects political suppression and a failure by the BBC to fulfill its journalistic responsibility. They demand immediate airing of the documentary, asserting it has undergone thorough fact-checking. The BBC claims the documentary's release is postponed due to investigations related to another film, raising concerns among its staff regarding media autonomy and editorial integrity.
Every day this film is delayed, the BBC fails in its commitment to inform the public... and fails in its duty of care to these brave contributors.
No news organisation should quietly decide behind closed doors whose stories are worth telling. This important film should be seen by the public.
