The BBC is to broadcast a documentary about the Nova music festival massacre later this month as part of a series of programming to mark the one-year anniversary of the Israel-Hamas war.
The 90-minute film, Surviving October 7th: We Will Dance Again will air on BBC Two and iPlayer on September 26, and also air around the world on Paramount+ in the US, Hot Channel 8 in Israel, and Nine Network in Australia.
BBC Storyville describes the film as a “powerful film providing a harrowing glimpse into the assault on partygoers”, including a minute-by-minute account showing how a music festival filled with young, peace-loving, partygoers just wanting to celebrate life, love and music, turned into a massacre.”
The documentary combines CCTV, GoPro, dashcam and mobile phone footage spliced with recordings of emergency calls made by partygoers and testimony from survivors to show how on that morning “confusion turned into fear, and then chaos when Hamas arrived and began to slaughter anyone in sight.”
