In time for Oct. 7 anniversary, a new film documents Hamas' attack on Israel music festival
A new documentary captures the horror of the Hamas attack on a music festival in Israel, in time for the first anniversary of the event
NEW YORK (AP) — Horror came with sunrise following an all-night rave near the Gaza border on Oct. 7, 2023, the Hamas attack presaged by rockets that some young people mistakenly thought were fireworks.
A new documentary shows the attack unfold over the next hours in stomach-churning detail: Gunmen mowing down passengers in cars that try to escape. Hiding in a garbage dumpster, or a refrigerator, to avoid detection. Live grenades tossed into a bunker, then thrown out seconds before exploding. Terrified hostages carried away to an uncertain fate.
Veteran news producer Susan Zirinsky calls “We Will Dance Again” the most significant project she's ever worked on, notable praise considering her "9/11” film is arguably the best video document of that day.
How much it is seen, however, may depend as much on context as content.
