We Will Dance Again

It is one of the most haunting yet essential documentaries I've seen in a long time. It doesn't just tell the story of the brutal massacre it really puts you in the shoes of the survivors, the families, and the community that was shattered by the terror of October 7.

The way the documentary handles the trauma especially the horrifying accounts of violence against women is raw. It's not sensationalized, but it is disturbing, as it should be. These stories need to be told, and this film does so with courage and clarity.

I walked away with tears, anger, but also deep respect for the resilience of the people and the message of defiance in the face of hate: "We will dance again."

Please watch it, even if it's hard. Especially because it's hard.

This film is almost the first evidence about the October 7th massacre . I thought not to watch it following my visit to the exhibition which which was so painful I couldn't stop crying., but I had to see it to have all the brutal horrific details in order to dispel the lies and claims of conspiracy.

Some responders claim that the film was one sided, so I need to ask them if also the Holocaust should be presented from the Nazi angle?

Despite the fact that the editing wasn't perfect, especially because the goal was to include as many recordings made by survivors as possible, I am sure that there was no one who watched it and didn't have tears in the eyes, and didn't understand that they are watching one of the worst most evil events in world history! All this despite the utmost attention by the producers to avoid causing more pain to the families of the murdered, raped, and tortured, as well as to the entire population of Israel, traumatized by the events.

I cried and I am crying now too for the 101 hopefully alive hostages who were dragged by the terrorists to their tunnels in Gaza and are undergoing there impossible suffering during more than a year.

This documentary should be viewed by everyone and everywhere, especially by educators, professionals that work with people, students and heads of faculties at the universities, influencers and policemen, because they must understand why they have to do their job with a clear view of what is acceptable and what is simply inhuman evil!

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.

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.

"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.
