The film shows iconic images from history when journalists have covered conflicts, such as the landing in Normandy, the protests on Tiananmen Square in China and the Vietnam War.

The short film demands that Israel allow foreign journalists to enter.

In Ukraine, journalists from all over the world risk their lives every day to report on people's suffering. But in Gaza, the task of reporting falls entirely on Palestinian journalists, who pay a terrible price, which means that fewer and fewer can testify, says Deborah Turness, CEO of BBC News, according to BBC.

This summer, the same news media issued a joint statement expressing "desperate concern" over what Palestinian journalists have to endure in Gaza, with starvation and displacement.

Last year, Israel's Supreme Court decided that restricted entry to Gaza is justified for security reasons.

At least 252 Palestinian journalists have been killed since October 7, 2023, according to the UN's latest figures.
