On October 7th at 6:29 a.m. Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel. 15 militants came to the town of Ofakim and killed 27 civilians and 5 police officers. In a new hybrid film, filmmaker Zohar Wagner (”Savoy”) tells the story of Rachel Edri, kept hostage by five Hamas militants. For 20 hours, Rachel and her husband David were held hostage in their house, by five Hamas militants, and thanks to Rachel’s cunning, resourcefulness, sense of humor and improvisation skills – they managed to survive. The film includes dramatic reenactments of the events in the house, which has been recreated as an exact replica of the house in Ofakim, with the real Rachel acting as “director” of the scenes. In addition, the film includes exclusive private and police archival materials.
