October 8

This documentary was powerful and so important in its efforts to share and balance the information circulating, the understanding of the history for those impacted and the terrifying length some are willing to go, especially without true understanding of how we have all arrived at this very moment in time.

No one people should be in danger on this planet in place of another. The humanitarianism for both sides comes through in this documentary. No more lives should be lost or lived in fear on either side of this unique historical and continuing battle. This film seeks only to balance to understanding, build compassion and does not in any way place more value on one life or people above another. It simply asks us to consider everyone.

It was painful and difficult to watch in some parts and yet I feel fortunate I was able to stand witness in any way to the atrocities.... For all.

The goal was clearly and truly to bring together and not create further divide, just further compassion, empathy and understanding of what has for so long felt like a hopeless pursuit of peace. If willing to watch with open hearts, this film has the potential to move us in the direction of unity, hope and peace....and above all, safety.

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.

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.

This documentary is very raw , but it's necessary to show the world . So sad to see college students getting blocked from going in and out of their campus buildings. Rocks getting thrown thru windows. Horrible name calling .

This movie makes a gallant effort to clear up misinformation and misconceptions. And, it gives hope at the end . Very well made! Kudos to Debra Messing, Michael Rapaport, & NYC politician Ritchie Torres ! And, also nice to see a clip of the Black /Jewish alliance. I hope that AMC will extend the movie, beyond just a week ! Schools need to take field trips to see this movie !!!!!! Cheers !

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.
