Presented for the first time, the footage Yoni has filmed serves as a powerful documentation for history, of the tragedy and brutality of the October 7 massacre and the strength and resilience of the Jewish nation in its wake.
The screening will be followed by an in-depth discussion and Q&A with Yoni Collins about the filming journey, the stories, and the conflict.
