On October 7, 2023, a horrific attack took place at the Nova music festival near Kibbutz Reim in southern Israel. The attack, carried out by Hamas militants, resulted in the deaths and kidnappings of festival-goers. A new documentary, “We Will Dance Again,” captures the events of that day in chilling detail, showing the chaos and terror that unfolded as revelers tried to escape the gunmen. The film, produced by veteran news producer Susan Zirinsky, has been praised as one of her most significant projects, but its distribution has been limited due to its controversial subject matter. Despite this, Zirinsky stands by the film, stating that it is not a political statement but rather a documentation of a tragic moment in history. The film includes interviews with survivors and footage captured by both festival-goers and Hamas fighters. It serves as a reminder of the devastating toll that the attack and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East have had on both Israelis and Palestinians.
