TV - Unreported World: Syria's Rebel Doctor


Friday 3rd May, 7.30pm
Channel 4

With the the British press offering a strangely sheltered coverage of the worsening situation in Syria, Channel 4 have done what they do best and gone several steps further by diving undercover with their critically acclaimed Unreported World series to tell the story of Syria's Rebel Doctor.

NHS doctor, Rami Habib, was previously based in Leicester but has been holed up for more than two years in Salma, an ex-holiday destination in northern Syria, which has been flattened by daily shelling by government forces.

Despite constantly having to cut power so the hospital can't be seen by hostile helicopters and being a government target for treating rebel soldiers, Dr Habib sees no other option than to stay and do his part in over-throwing President Al-Assad, by helping those wounded by his regime.
