The following is a trailer of the award-winning documentary on Oct. 7, 'The Road Between Us,' about former IDF Maj.-Gen. Noam Tibon, who risked everything to save his family and many others from the Hamas massacre.
The documentary had previously faced a brief removal from TIFF’s schedule over security and rights concerns, a decision that drew criticism from politicians, Jewish organizations, and industry figures.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar criticized and satirized the decision to bar the film, writing on X that “there was no ‘legal clearance’ from Hamas for their GoPro massacre videos.'
'We may be exactly 18 months on from this terrible day, but with 59 hostages still being held and the images from the Oct. 7 attacks still etched on our collective memories, #NOVA remains an important, unique and must-see film.'
The $600,000 documentary project was financed by Fuente Latina, which provides pro-Israel news and commentary on the Middle East to Spanish-language news outlets, along with contributions from U.S. foundations and philanthropists.
Majed el-Shafie's fifth wartime visit to Israel, for the nationwide screening of the movie, closes something of a circle for the 47-year-old human rights activist.
