Friendship, love, peace and freedom—these ideals drew young hearts from around the globe to Nova’s EDM music festival in the South of Israel. But as the sun rose on October 7th, the fantasy shattered.
Rockets sliced through the sky, and the dancing stopped. Confusion morphed into fear as gunfire erupted amidst the chaos. Terror breached the border fence and unleashed violence on the unsuspecting people in its rawest form.
It is a stark portrayal of the experiences of those who survived and those who didn’t. The film meticulously reconstructs the events, capturing the raw emotions and heroism that emerged.
Note: some images and content may be disturbing. Appropriate for ages 16+.
Post-screening discussion with Yuval Siman Tov, survivor of the Nova Music Festival, and Community Shlicha, Tal Bahar, to follow the film.
