On the morning of October 7, 2023, Israel woke up to complete chaos as an unprecedented event unfolded within its borders – a surprise invasion by Hamas terror battalions on a scale and level of cruelty that no one could have imagined. Thus began a massive documentary project recording the apocalyptic event involving mass murder, abuse, rape, kidnapping, destruction of towns and communities, and the collapse of the defense line and sense of security. Israel was gripped by shock and astonishment, yet also saw an impressive recovery, extraordinary acts of heroism, and the launch of a long and difficult war.
