Such a powerful, illuminating documentary with actual video footage from Nova Festival attendees juxtaposed with videos recorded by Hamas terrorists. One of the interviewees, a 20-something woman whom only wanted to dance and celebrate life in Nature, likened the massacre to the creepy TV “Squid Games” in real life. That made me shudder. Noting how this “trance music” party, like the “raves” of the USA, and our famous Woodstock festival, attracted psychedelic drug users, the filmmakers forced me to imagine the initial blissful disbelief or the quickly magnified horror that enveloped so many of the attacked partygoers. I am wiped out and wept out after seeing this, but felt it was incumbent upon all life-affirming people—Jewish or non-Jewish—all music-loving and humane people, to bear witness to this atrocity that occurred just a year ago and is already barely acknowledged as a justification for Israel’s retaliation against terrorists. What a well-done documentary!
