Film Synopsis
Todd Morehead, an American Christian, visits Israel to bear witness to the attrocities of October 7, and to explore the background and motivations of those who perpetrated the deadliest day in Jewish history since the Holocaust.
​
This feature documentary film provides viewers with the most comprehensive overview to date of the history of Gaza prior to October 7, 2023 through the voices of some of Israel’s most distinguished educators – Daniel Gordis, Einat Wilf, Ronen Bergman, and Miri Eisen.
​
It also explores the ideological roots and declared aspirations of Hamas and radical Islamists, and shows the traumatic events of October 7 through the stories of survivors, first responders, a former hostage, and the chilling video footage taken by the terrorists themselves.
​​
Additionally, the film ends with an inspiring tribute to the valiant service of the men and women of the IDF, encouragement to future generations of Israelis, and a challenge to viewers to heed the timeless words of Pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945):
​
Silence in the face of evil is itself evil:
God will not hold us guiltless.
Not to speak is to speak.
Not to act is to act.
​
Due to some of the graphic content, this film is recommended for mature audiences only.
