Gaza: Doctors Under Attack — Film Screening
Monday, August 3rd, 2026 at 6:00 PM (Doors open 5:30)
Hughes Main Library, 25 Heritage Green Pl, Greenville SC
Join us for a free screening of Gaza: Doctors Under Attack, directed by
Karim Shah. This forensic investigation into Israel's attacks on Gaza's hospitals
and health workers was commissioned by the BBC, which then refused to air it.
Channel 4 and Mehdi Hasan's Zeteo released it in July 2025, and it went on to win
the 2026 BAFTA TV Award for Current Affairs. The Guardian named it one of
the 50 best TV shows of 2025, calling it "an essential document of our times."
This event is free to attend; only water is permitted.
