October 8

If you want to know what Jews have experienced since the horrors of Oct 7th, you must watch this film. This film is filled with activists who have fought tooth and nail since that terrible day to show the truth of the situation without dehumanizing Palestinians. I, for one, am thankful for this documentary to be out in the world.

For people who are afraid of seeing traumatizing footage from Oct 7th, please know that this film is not that. It focuses on the way the world has reacted after that terrible day. It organizes the facts in a concise, methodical way to make it easy to understand. Thank you to Noa Tishby, Debra Messing, Ritchie Torres, and the makers of this film.

October 8th is more than just a documentary-it's a harrowing wake-up call. The film delves into the aftermath of the October 7th attacks, shifting the focus to the day after, when survivors, families, and communities grappled with the shocking reality of what had just happened.

What makes October 8th so powerful is its raw, unfiltered storytelling. It doesn't just recount events; it immerses you in the fear, confusion, and resilience of those affected. The firsthand testimonies, haunting footage, and deeply personal narratives make it impossible to look away.

For me, this film was both eye-opening and deeply unsettling. It forced me to confront the depths of human suffering, the complexities of the conflict, and the lingering trauma that many are still experiencing. It left me with a heavy heart but also a renewed sense of urgency to understand and engage in meaningful conversations.

Whether you think you know the full story or not, October 8th challenges you to look closer. It's not an easy watch, but it's an important one.

I found the whole premise of the documentary boring and redundant and tedious and unconvincing. They certainly tried hard to get their version of occurrences and events across, but I have seen more persuasive productions with more compelling casting. I was hoping for something more substantial than what they were trying to imply. There certainly are a number of documentaries worth watching these days such as the recent Oscar winning documentary "No Other Land" or Louis Theroux "The Settlers" which properly deals with contemporary and historical issues that are of vital importance. These two documentaries certainly have a substantially high rating among viewers.

Educational and interesting. A must watch to learn about the post October 7th world. Many points of views were presented in an engaging way. I left the theatre moved and sad yet uplifted by the possibility of a better world. It is a movie you want to watch more than one time. It is well researched with credible sources. So many interesting people were interviewed. Well done. Well researched. Respectful of the sensitive nature of the content. I found the young students interviewed to be inspirational and beautiful souls. The movie left you with a desire to learn more and do our share to improve the world.

This documentary tackles the subject with the right level of journalistic curiosity, sensitivity and balance.

There will be many who don't want to acknowledge or will struggle to hold more than one narrative can exist. We need to exploring what occurred in the aftermath of Oct 7th. The fact that this film/documentary was made, and made so well, is a testament to its team who must have fought an uphill battle to get this out there. I implore people to watch it with an open mind, to be able to see what's happening right in front of them

Should be compulsory view - painful, insightful and necessary.
