“I have finally had opportunity to watch this brave and honest film, (showing) Gillian’s unsparing search for truth and for some path through and past this terrible tragedy. Please thank her for sharing it with me.” – Gabor Maté
After October 7th the world was shocked and sympathetic following the Hamas attacks in Israel. Within a few short months most of this sympathy had gone as the world recoiled in horror at the brutality of the Israeli response to these attacks, while few Israeli Jews seem to have noticed anything untoward. As a British/American Jew, Gillian Mosely wanted to know what has happened to make Jews, a people who have experienced oppression, othering, and genocide, exhibit such moral and humanitarian numbness. More widely, how does the moral disengagement that allows atrocities the world over, happen? Gillian thought she was making a film about trauma. But the reality turned out to be so much darker than she’d imagined as the mechanisms behind our disintegrating democracies and international laws are exposed.
