In “A Year of War: Israelis and Palestinians,” Israelis describe what it was like to experience the deadliest day for Jews since World War II as the Oct. 7 attacks unfolded, with around 1,200 people killed and 251 taken hostage. And in Gaza, where more than 40,000 people have reportedly been killed in Israel’s retaliation against Hamas, Palestinians describe — and record — the horrors of large-scale devastation.
Through these individual stories, the documentary offers a profound portrait of the conflict as a whole, and a powerful look inside a cycle of violence and tragedy with no end in sight.
“I thought in another universe we might live together,” says Agam, a young Israeli woman who was taken hostage by Hamas, adding that after what she experienced, she believes “the gap is so deep” and “the opportunity is gone.”
“I could die at any moment and so could my family,” says Ghada, a young Palestinian woman in Gaza whose home was destroyed and who describes being displaced around 15 times by Israeli military operations. “There’s no future at all.”
