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.

This is a historical film that is relevant to the worst attack in Israel's history. It's heartbreaking but it needs to be seen. If it can happen in Israel, it can happen anywhere. The courage these people possessed is nothing short of heroism. Not sure why this is getting so much hate, but I searched everywhere to watch it and it didn't disappoint. Some of the festival goers are still in Gaza. The war in the Middle East will never end and this is a testament to just how far Hamas will go to rid the world of everyone they hate. Who attacks a rave full of hippies? Raves are amazing and beyond peaceful.

I have 2 main beefs with this film.

First, this feels more like a film for entertainment rather than a documentary trying to expose a truth. The perspective presented is very slanted to one side and does not provide enough context or contrarian perspectives by other actors involved on that day.

Second, the production quality of the film was poor in my opinion. The interviews were not professional, the questions posed were basic and boring, and the drug bunnies being interviewed make you question how much you can believe. I was hoping for better candidates.

Ultimately, I was looking for a documentary, but what I found was more of a drama.

This documentary We Will Dance Again is powerful, impactful, sad, and moving. The testimonies of these poor, brave, innocent people are so compelling. What horrific situations they went through. A festival meant for music, peace, and love ended in the most horrific way. These survivors give hope. They are so resilient. Even with their trauma, they will heal, and they will dance again. A must-watch for everyone. Eye-opener. This documentary is so well done.

The cinematography is stunning, capturing both the beauty of the festival and the grim reality that unfolded. The filmmakers did an exceptional job of blending personal stories with broader reflections on grief, loss, and the power of community. This film transcends mere entertainment; it serves as a poignant reminder of our shared humanity and the strength found in solidarity. Each survivor's story is well narrated, allowing viewers to connect deeply with their traumatic experiences and emotions. Additionally, the incredible dedication of the crew shines through, as they carefully convey the depth of sorrow while reminding us of the enduring spirit of hope and resilience.

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.
