Paramount+ will be the home of “The Children of October 7,” a documentary that will focus on the most vulnerable victims impacted by the 2023 Hamas attacks. The film will premiere on April 23 and will air linearly on MTV at a later date.
“The Children of October 7” is directed by Asaf Becker, known for his work on “Screams Before Silence” and “One Week With Tom Aharon.” It will feature social media activist Montana Tucker engaging in deeply sensitive conversations with a group of children who bravely share the unthinkable traumas they’ve endured. The documentary is told through the children’s experiences of being held captive, witnessing the deaths of parents and loved ones and losing their homes.
Of the estimated 1,200 Israelis who were murdered during the Oct. 7 attack, 37 were children. It’s also been estimated that more than 100 children lost one parent during the attack, more than 20 lost both parents and more than 35 were kidnapped.

The mayor of Miami Beach is asking the city to end a lease agreement and withdraw financial support from an independent theater that is screening the Oscar-winning documentary “No Other Land.”
Mayor Steven Meiner characterized the film as “a false one-sided propaganda attack on the Jewish people that is not consistent with the values of our City and residents” and has introduced legislation to terminate the O Theater’s lease for the city’s old City Hall building.
Despite winning the Oscar and numerous other awards, “No Other Land” has faced controversy for its depiction of Palestinian homes and villages in the West Bank destroyed by the Israeli military.
U.S. distributors declined to pick it up and it is being booked by distribution consultant Cinetic directly into venues such as the Miami Beach non-profit cinema.
City commissioners will vote on the proposal next week, according to the Miami Herald.
