Trauma in the Middle East: Documentary films the episodes of October 7th
Berlin/Hamburg - It is a date that goes into history: October 7th. The day on which Hamas has carried out a devastating massacre in Israel and the bloody conflict in Gaza has flared up. A year later, the renowned production company Beetz Brothers brings out a shocking documentary that illuminates the shocking trauma on both sides and tears off the wounds that this day has beaten. On Tuesday, September 24th, 2024, the film celebrates its premiere on Arte - an urgent confrontation with the incredible!
In this gripping 90-minute work, not only survivors have their say, but also leading traumatologists who explain the human misery that emerged from this terrible chain of events. The unique connection of personal stories from Israel and Gaza with expert knowledge from traumatology makes the viewer understand the deep scars and the repeated pain experiences of both peoples.
A look behind the scenes
The year before, Beetz Brothers had taken a first look at the cruel events with the impressive documentary "Supernova: The Music Festival Massacre". This was followed by a brave and sensitive follow -up project, led by a talented team: Jens Strohschnieder and Mathias Marx from Germany and Duki Dror from Israel. Together they dare to tell the unadorned truth about the conflict.
"I was shocked by the brutality, both on the part of the perpetrator and the retaliation by Israel," says Jens Strohschnieder. These words taste bitter, because reality is even more painful than any word. "How is it possible for people to wague each other so much and embrace each other?" he asks in his deep despair.
worldwide recognized traumatologists like the American expert Jessica Stern offer even more insights: the realization that injured people often violate others reflects the fateful spiral in which Israelis and Palestinians feel trapped.
The dark mood and the divisions in Europe
The film also takes a disturbing look at the social divisions in Europe. Over a year after the terrifying events, demonstrations and heated debates about anti -Semitism and anti -timing limism have increased in intensity. duki dror explains that the consideration of the conflict through the lens of trauma is a first step to overcome the destructive separation between the countries and cultures.
producer Reinhardt Beetz describes the current conditions as the "rifle of the pandora", which was opened - a metaphor for the disaster that may still come while the war continues to predict a dark future with fear and hatred. "The healing process will inevitably take long," sums up Beetz.
This documentary "Trauma in Middle East - October 7th and its consequences" asks the audience to deal with the human side of the conflict and to recognize the deep wounds he left. The premiere is approaching, and with it the chance of a strong, captivating experience - an obligation to truth in a time when she is often difficult to find.
