BBC to air ‘We Will Dance Again’ documentary about Hamas massacre at Nova festival
Storyville will air documentary about the Israeli rave event where 364 innocent party-goers were murdered. It's expected to be screened around the first anniversary of the attack.
The international documentary stream of the BBC has signed on to co-produce a documentary about the 7 October Nova music festival massacre.
BBC Storyville, together with MGM Television and Fulwell 73 label Bitachon 365 are on board to create the film, given the working title ‘We Will Dance Again’.
Produced by Bad Boys studio Sipur and led by Israeli film-maker and screenwriter Yariv Mozer, it will feature new interviews and previously unseen exclusive footage from the massacre at the Israeli music festival near Kibbutz Re’im on the Gaza border, where party-goers were raped, murdered, tortured and kidnapped by terrorists.

Sheldon Lazarus, from Fulwell label Bitachon said: “The massacre at the Super Nova festival was a crime against humanity, broadcast in real time to the world by its perpetrators. The film we are making is a testament to the triumph of the human spirit against the most incredible odds and in the face of unimaginable horror.”
Lucie Kon, the British Jewish producer of ‘We Are British Jews,’ is an executive producer on the project and told Jewish News: “We are pleased and proud to be able to bring this devastating but important story to BBC audiences later this year.”

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.

There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.

Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
