The documentary makers behind Channel 4 program “Gaza: Doctors Under Attack” launched a tirade against the BBC while picking up a BAFTA TV Award for the doc.

The BBC, which had originally commissioned “Gaza: Doctors Under Attack,” dropped the program last June citing impartiality concerns. It was subsequently picked up by Channel 4.

Ramita Navai, who hosted the doc, which was produced by Basement Films, said in her acceptance speech for best current affairs program the BBC had “paid for” the program but “refused to show it.” “But we refused to be silenced and censored,” she said. “We thank Channel 4 for showing this film.”
