We Will Dance Again

This is a documentary of real footage from the Nova Music Festival massacre on October 7, 2023. It includes video clips from survivors and actual footage from the Hamas terrorists.

It's difficult to watch. At first, none of the party goers took the rockets or gunfire that seriously. The Gazans have been attacking Israelis in one way or another for many years, either by knifings, car rammings, shootings, or rocket fire, thanks to the Pay for Slay program run by the PA which pays Gazans and their families to kill Jews. It took a while for anyone to realize that this was not just another attack - this was extremely serious!

Its main focus was on the Nova Music Festival. It was harrowing to see how thousands of young people - who were taken completely off guard at a music festival - had to run and fight for their lives. It showed Shani Louk's body in the back of the truck while the Gazans joyfully cheered and we don't know if she was alive or dead at that point. Thankfully it didn't show Naama Levy who had blood on the back of her pants and her Achilles tendons slit so she couldn't run. I really didn't want to see that again. It only briefly touched on the murders and kidnappings at the Kibbutzim.

It does go into how the survivors have coped this past year. It was a difficult, but important, watch. It's new and it's streaming on Paramount+ if anyone is interested in seeing it.

"We Will Dance Again" is not just a documentary - it's a defiant heartbeat echoing through history. Directed with raw honesty and profound empathy by Yariv Mozer, this 2024 film brings viewers face-to-face with the unfathomable tragedy of the Nova music festival massacre on October 7, 2023 - and more importantly, with the unbreakable human spirit that rose from its ashes.

Through intimate testimonies, haunting visuals, and a soundtrack that mirrors both loss and hope, the film transcends mere reportage. Mozer doesn't just recount the horrors; he crafts a tapestry of memory, grief, resistance, and above all, resilience. Survivors, families of the abducted, and first responders speak with courage, offering more than facts - they offer humanity.

This international co-production between Israel's Hot, the UK's BBC, and the US's Paramount+ is a masterclass in global storytelling - grounded in local heartbreak but resonating universally. The documentary never strays into sensationalism. Instead, it captures quiet heroism and the desperate beauty of a generation that believed in peace, only to be torn by war - and yet chooses to believe again.

The Emmy for Outstanding Current Affairs Documentary in 2025 was more than deserved. "We Will Dance Again" is a searing reminder that light can emerge from the darkest hours - and that even in grief, music, memory, and unity endure. A must-watch film that will stay with you long after the credits roll.

Heartbreaking, breathtaking. Unbelievable.

A must watch.

The movie manages to capture the pure horror, the fear, the moments of despare, along with fragile hope.

The production of the movie did an amazing job. This documentation is crucial. Through this documentary, the people who were silenced forever by the cruel hands of terrorist, will be able to scream forever as a reminder for the lives that once were, for the joy and the love that were brutally taken away, making our world a darker place.

May the hostages return to their homes, the living to rehabilitation and the ones who have passed to a proper berial.

May they rest in peace, and may their families find some comfort.

This documentary captures the heartless and psychopathic face of hate and evil that exists in the world. Survivors of the terrorist attack narrate the live footage taken at the festival. Front and center, from start to finish, you, the viewer, are there at the festival experiencing the horror, pain, suffering, confusion, and witness the senseless brutality and execution of innocent people. You experience every moment of pure grief, shock, and fear. You will be breathless, angry, terrified, and possibly cry. We must all decide who we are as individuals, the choices we make, and how we treat our fellow humans. Always choose kindness, love, and unity.

A must see to understand what radical religion and ideology is capable of doing. Most people don't know what happened and should watch this. Great way to depict it and very emotional. Many people say that there is no context, this documentary has all the context it needs. It is about radical ideology with concrete videos showing true intentions. This is purely about the massacre that took place in a music festival with innocent victims with no political bias. This documentary should be watched by anyone discussing current events in the Middle East today. Very emotional and very graphic depictions of what happened.
