A harrowing glimpse into the brutal assault on partygoers at the Nova Music Festival — one of the sites in Israel attacked by Hamas on 7 October 2023. The human cost of the violence in Israel that day and the war that has followed in Gaza have been catastrophic. This film focuses on events at Nova, with a minute-by-minute account showing how a rave celebrating life turned into a massacre. In the evening of 6 October, thousands of partygoers — Israelis and foreign nationals — started to gather for the music festival in the Negev Desert. At 6.30am on 7 October, with the party approaching its climax, some thought the rockets that started appearing overhead were fireworks. Others didn't notice. Using the testimony of survivors, CCTV and mobile phone footage, the film shares the very telling personal stories of those who lived and those who died as confusion turned into fear and then chaos when Hamas arrived and began to slaughter anyone in sight.
