We Will Dance Again

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.

Subtitles are an issue. White on light background difficulties. Major headaches.

That being said, it's the closest you're HOPEFULLY EVER going to get to a REAL WAR AND LIVE FOOTAGE.

Absolutely horrid what those poor kids went through.

And yes they were mostly in their teens and 20's.

My sympathies go out to anyone who is devastated by war and its atrocities.

The bravery these survivors went through to keep fighting and run for safety. All footage is real from cell phones gathered and footage given.

Absolutely NO FAKE SCENES!

My deepest sympathies to those who were slaughtered and especially those who didn't die immediately and were taken hostage. I will remember this film forever.

I had to stop watching midway through yesterday, finished watching today. I had no idea of the horror, and i suspect most people far removed from that terror still have no idea of the atrocities and evil committed on October 7. Heartbreaking and incomprehensible. The images are truly hard to watch, and the film shows the amount of time and desperate confusion the survivors experienced. The aftermath at the end ...the film doesn't hold back. Hard to watch, but everyone should see 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.

How heartbreaking is it for us to be at a place where we need to recommend watching such a disturbing documentary but it's so very important to honor those who suffered by sharing their truth. Definitely should be required viewing in secondary educational institutions because there are so many lies and propaganda being pushed and blindly followed by our youth. War is never black and white but the targeting and slaughter of innocent lives is crystal clear and evil.

The documentary gives a clear first hand account of just a fraction of the experience from the victims perspective. After watching this, I'll never forget it! Peace be with all the survivors and the loved ones of those whose lives were tragically stolen <3.
