Kill Zone: Inside Gaza
Basement Films
1 x 60' | 1 x 75' HD
The story of the Israel-Hamas war told by those living through it in Gaza: the journalists trying to cover it as they lose dozens of beloved colleagues, the doctors trying to save lives and rebuild shattered bodies, the parents trying to reassure and feed frightened children, and the children left as WCNSF; “wounded child no surviving family”. KILL ZONE: INSIDE GAZA is the definitive account of the conflict, pairing character observation of a surgeon in Al-Shifa Hospital as it comes under attack, a journalist as she covers the chaos around her whilst losing close colleagues almost every day, a family striving to survive through food shortages, and two little girls with grievous leg injuries who have both lost their parents. These stories and more are combined with forensic analysis to deliver the story of the most intense military bombardment of the 21st century.

The 'A' Word: America's War On Women
The Independent
1 x 60' HD
June 24, 2022, America’s Supreme Court voted on a decision that would impact the futures of millions of people. In THE A-WORD, we meet those most vulnerable to America’s abortion bans, and the medics who risk committing felonies to save them. Shadowing multiple abortion clinics, we track patients forced to travel the length of the USA to get needed care. We meet abortion providers who are so terrified they tuck firearms into their scrubs. Through this, we explore the Christian nationalist movement behind it all. Abortion - a word so stigmatised that it has become impossible to say - has divided this nation. Two years on, the fight over the “A-Word” has become a battle for freedom, equality and healthcare itself.
