At dawn on October 7, 2023, thousands of Israelis were awakened by a seemingly routine rocket terror attack from Gaza. Within a few hours, their world would change forever. Using personal accounts of the fates of seven survivors, the documentary reconstructs the darkest day in modern Israeli history, when 3,000 Hamas terrorists and their murderous followers invaded civilian communities in southern Israel, stormed an electronic music festival, and killed 1,195 people. Among the contemporary witnesses who speak is Yuval Raphael, a survivor of the Nova Music Festival massacre, who had to hide among corpses in an air raid shelter and, after overcoming the trauma, will represent Israel at the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest with her magnificent singing voice. But Mazal Tazazo, Millet Ben Haim, Hadar Or Elmakias, Guillermo Rochman, Guido Kohan and Shye Weinstein also describe their sad experiences.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
