THE CHILDREN OF 7/10

documentary (40 min.)

One year after Hamas’s October 7, 2023 terror attacks, The Children of October 7—a gripping 40‑minute documentary—presents seven Israeli children (aged 11–17) describing the horrors they experienced and their ongoing emotional scars. Through moving interviews led by Montana Tucker (a pro‑Israel activist & granddaughter of Holocaust survivors), the film centers testimony from Yael Idan, who witnessed her sister’s murder and her father’s capture; Eitan Yahalomi, who survived 52 days in Hamas captivity; Rotem Mathias, sheltered beneath his dead mother’s body; plus others including Amit Cohen, Alona and Ya’ala Rousso, and Ella Shan Grounded in archival footage, the documentary opens with images of baby Kfir Bibas—kidnapped and later killed by Hamas—then juxtaposes raw visuals with personal photos and interviews to confront viewers with the violence unleashed on innocent children.
Interviews were conducted under psychological supervision, with full parental or guardian consent. Tucker’s intent is not political: it is to combat denial and amplify survivors’ voices while anchoring these testimonies in historical memory, especially amid rising doubt and disinformation online.
Initially screened at Jerusalem’s Museum of Tolerance in December 2024 (attended by President Isaac Herzog), the film premiered on Paramount+ on April 23, 2025, followed by a broadcast on MTV.
Despite its brevity, this documentary delivers a powerful message: these young survivors demand that we see, remember, and honor their lived truth.


TATTOOED 4 LIFE

documentary (30 min.)

After the massacre at the NOVA festival left 364 people dead, survivor Liraz Uliel turns her grief into art. She designs a fractal memorial to honour those lost, and invites fellow survivors to tattoo fragments of it onto their skin. Through these intimate sessions—sharing stories of loss, fear, love and hope—Liraz not only memorialises the victims, but also begins to heal. Tattooed4Life is a moving portrait of how creativity and community can help survivors reclaim hope in the aftermath of tragedy.
