This 2025 film documentary poses complex questions of identity across generations as the family is thrust into the epicenter of a global conflict.

The militant group Hamas launched a brutal, surprise attack on a music festival in Isreal on October 7, 2023. Among those kidnapped were Israeli American Liat Atzili and her husband Aviv. Caught between international diplomacy and a rapidly escalating war, their family must face their own uncertainty and conflicting political perspectives in the pursuit of Liat and Aviv’s release.

Presented as part of the JFilm Festival, an annual showcase of Jewish-themed independent films from around the world.
