Todd Sampson films Gaza March of Return
Popular TV identity Todd Sampson has taken his Body Hack team into Gaza for the opening program in the Network 10 series.
The team’s original mission was to document the lives and show the pressure that emergency medics face on a daily basis, but they came back with so much more.
Network’s Ten states: “When the new season begins on Tuesday, 25 June, Todd takes us to one of the most dangerous and war-torn locations on earth. He arrives during the March of Return protests where to date, over 28,000 people have been injured and 280 killed in the weekly demonstrations.
Todd and his crew gain incredible access following the funeral of a Palestinian protestor-cum-martyr, the jaw-dropping process that emergency medics undertake to repair bullet wounds and amputate limbs and in some astonishing scenes, comes face to face with one of the most formidable organisations on earth; the Islamic Jihad.
Todd Sampson’s Body Hack is not a political show and not one that takes sides. It is one about the human condition at the extremes and there’s no doubt that Palestinians in Gaza are living and working at the very edge.”
Tuesday 25 June At 8.40pm Network 10
