Today marks another year since the horrific terrorist attacks of October 7, 2023, a day of unimaginable loss that forever changed the lives of so many families in Israel and around the world.
A month and a half ago, I traveled to Israel, and had the profound opportunity to sit down with survivors and hear their stories firsthand. I listened as they shared what they endured, the loved ones they lost, and how they have found the strength to say they want peace.
Their stories have stayed with me.
I made this documentary because these voices deserve to be heard and remembered. At a moment when the pain of October 7 can too easily become reduced to headlines, arguments, and statistics, I wanted people to hear directly from those who lived through it, to see their humanity, their grief, and their resilience.
On this anniversary, I am remembering the lives that were taken, standing with the survivors and families who continue to carry this trauma, and recommitting myself to the work of combating terrorism, antisemitism and pursuing a future where Israelis and Palestinians can live with safety, dignity, and lasting peace.
I hope you’ll take a few minutes to watch and hear their stories.
