Description

An American family watches the horror of the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attacks unfold—only to be plunged into a nightmare when they learn their daughter, sister, and mother, Liat Beinin Atzili, was abducted from her kibbutz, and her husband, Aviv, was killed. Led by her father, Yehuda, the family mounts a tireless campaign for her release. This intimate documentary lays bare their raw grief and unyielding hope—a profound testament to love, endurance, and the human cost of geopolitical violence. Winner, Berlinale Documentary Award, Berlin International Film Festival.
