Saturday October 7

At dawn on October 7, 2023, thousands of Israelis were awakened by a seemingly routine rocket terror attack from Gaza. Within a few hours, their world would change forever. Using personal accounts of the fates of seven survivors, the documentary reconstructs the darkest day in modern Israeli history, when 3,000 Hamas terrorists and their murderous followers invaded civilian communities in southern Israel, stormed an electronic music festival, and killed 1,195 people. Among the contemporary witnesses who speak is Yuval Raphael, a survivor of the Nova Music Festival massacre, who had to hide among corpses in an air raid shelter and, after overcoming the trauma, will represent Israel at the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest with her magnificent singing voice. But Mazal Tazazo, Millet Ben Haim, Hadar Or Elmakias, Guillermo Rochman, Guido Kohan and Shye Weinstein also describe their sad experiences.

Directed by Alving Garcia, Monique Beadle, Uri Morad
