Paramount+ is to launch the worldwide premiere of We Will Dance Again, the documentary about the 7 October Hamas terror attack on the Nova Music Festival that left more than 400 dead and dozens kidnapped.

The doc is directed by Yariv Mozer (The Devil’s Confession: The Lost Eichmann Tapes) and is a co-production of Susan Zirinsky’s See It Now Studios, SIPUR and factual producer Bitachon 365.

Osmosis Global, the recently launched firm launched by Chris Grant and Marc Pierce, is distributing, while MGM Television and HSCC are also attached.

The UK’s BBC Storyville and Hot Channel 8 are among co-producers and both will air the show later this year.

The documentary tells the horrific events of 7 October through the eyes of more than a dozen survivors, many of whom videotaped their experiences as the massacre unfolded. The film weaves together eyewitness accounts from over a dozen survivors, along with footage captured by both the victims and Hamas.

Executive producers include Sheldon Lazarus, Ben Winston, Leo Pearlman, Ben Turner and Gabe Turner for Bitachon 365; Emilio Schenker, Michael Peter Schmidt and Gideon Tadmor for SIPUR; Dari Shay, Rinat Klein, Haim Slutsky and Dorit Hessel for HSCC; Lucie Kon for BBC Storyville; Arturo Interian; and Susan Zirinsky and Terence Wrong for See It Now Studios.

Zirinsky said: “The human cost of what happened on October 7th in Israel, and the war in Gaza, has been catastrophic. We can’t tell everyone’s story. This film is about innocent young people, forced to fight for their survival. It is a painful story of unfathomable tragedy, and also of bravery, sacrifice and heroism.”
