The Toronto International Film Festival canceled an Oct. 7 documentary, claiming the filmmakers needed Hamas’ permission to use publicly available bodycam footage of the massacre.
The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) canceled the screening of a documentary about the October 7 massacres, claiming the filmmakers should have sought permission from Hamas to use clips of the slaughter filmed on terrorists’ body-worn cameras.
The documentary, The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue, tells the story of ex-Israeli army general Noam Tibon, who rescued his son and family from Kibbutz Nahal Oz during the Hamas invasion of Israel.
The Gaza-adjacent kibbutz was one of the hardest hit communities on October 7th, with some 25 percent of residents either kidnapped or killed on that day.
