WE WILL DANCE AGAIN by Israeli film director Yariv Mozer (Ben-Gurion, Epilogue, The Devil's Confession—The Lost Eichmann Tapes, Golda's War Diaries). The film provides a powerful minute-by-minute retelling of the terror attack that took place at the Nova Music Festival on October 7th, 2023, from the sole perspective of the survivors. It gives testament to the strength of the human spirit in the face of tragedy. We are incredibly fortunate to have our film screened in select theaters across the US and wanted to invite you to experience this profoundly moving story of hope and resilience in a theater in Yonkers, NYC, and other local theaters. In order to check where the film is playing and to get tickets, please click here.
