Gaza: Doctors Under Attack review – this crucial film is the stuff of nightmares

The abandonment drew uproar from within the corporation, scorn from the wider media and the inescapable sense that what started as a vital piece of film-making had devolved into yet another navel-gazing referendum on the purpose of the BBC. There is Dr Khaled Hamouda, discussing the direct attack on his home that killed 10 members of his family, and the drone strike that moments later hit the house the survivors escaped to. There have been several muscular documentaries about the Palestinian territories this year, either setting the table of the conflict or – as with the case of Louis Theroux’s film The Settlers – trying to understand the psychology behind those who choose to exacerbate it.
