Montana Tucker film about children’s victims from October 7

On the eve of the Holocaust Merungs Day, the documentary The Children of October from October 7, with the participation of the singer/Influencer Montana Tucker on Paramount+ with MTV documentary films.

The documentary led by ASAF Becker includes Tucker, who interviews several children who survived the Hamas terrorist attack. She came to Israel to meet them after the Hamas attack in Israel’s attack on October 7, 2023, in which 1200 people were killed and about 250 kidnapped, 42 children were children.

Most of the kidnapped children, some of whom were tortured in captivity, were released in a deal at the end of 2023, but two, Ariel Bibas, 4, and Kfir Bibas, who was less than a year old, were murdered by terrorists. Her bodies were returned to Israel together with those of her mother Shiri in February.

Tucker, who has more than 14 million followers on social media, has had an impact on the massacre on October 7. She visited Israel several times last year and published many interviews and a dance video at the location of the Supernova Music Festival, in which more than 360 people were killed, to her followers around the world.

Speak to the Jerusalem Post At the premiere of the children from October 7 in December in the Museum of Tolerance in Jerusalem, Tucker said that her grandfather, although she died and her grandmother is currently very sick, was certain that the two, both Holocaust survivors, are proud of them to work on this documentation.

“My mother always says that my Zayde (Yiddish for grandfather) lives in me,” said Tucker. “My Zayde spoke to every single person he met over the Holocaust and share his story … I think of him in everything I do in the work I do. My grandparents are my greatest inspiration in the work I do.

Tucker said that a psychologist was on the film all the time to help the respondents to deal with their trauma. The testimony of these survivors is extremely frightening. Eisan Yahalomi was 12 years old when terrorists entered Kibbutz Nir Oz and shot his father and whose body was returned at the beginning of this year.

The terrorists put Eight, his mother and two younger sisters on motorcycles in Gaza Strip. He remembers how his sister Yael was on the motorcycle with him, but because she cried, they put her on the motorcycle with his mother and other sister. The terrorists left this motorcycle unattended, and his mother and sisters could escape.

Eian wasn’t that luck. When he entered Gaza, he was beaten by a mob and later had to watch videos of the terrorists who killed people. When he cried, he was threatened by them with a gun held.

Others in the film interviewed Alona Rousso and Yella Rousso from Kfar Aza, whose father Uri was murdered in the defense of the Kibbutz. Amit Cohen from Nir Oz, who describes how his father was shot and that the same ball hit his dog through his father’s leg; and Ella Shani from Kibbutz Be’eri, whose father was killed in the attack.

In a discussion in the Jerusalem premiere of the film in the president of President Isaac Herzog and his wife Michal, Tucker compared the rejection of the massacre with Holocaust rejection. “If I heard Holocaust refusal, I would always not understand how people could refuse the Holocaust because we have all the evidence of the world,” she said.

“And now what happens in the USA and all over the world with a rejection of October 7, as Hamas Livestream, what they did for the world, they didn’t try to hide it. I know that it sounds like we all scream, and nobody listens, but a large part of the content I posted has made a difference.”

Some of the most exciting moments in the film were not made by the film crew, but came from a video livestream that the Hamas terrorists on Facebook from the Idan family posted on Kibbutz Laach OZ.

Yael Idan, 12, explains in a constant voice what we see on the Hamas video: terrorists shot and killed her 18-year-old sister Maayan, held the whole family hostage in her house and then kidnapped her father Tsachi to Gaza. He was killed by the terrorists and his body was brought back to Israel in February.

Shots can be heard in the video, and the terrorists shout at them when Yael, sobbing, fights to understand that their sister is dead. “It’s like everything that feels safe for you was no longer sure,” says Yael in the documentary.

The children from October 7 were produced by Kastina Communications, which also produced Sheryl Sandberg’s documentary about sexual violence during the massacre from October 7th. AID coalition also helped produce the film.
