Israel hostage held by Hamas
Gal Gadot, the Israeli movie star best known for playing Wonder Woman, is promoting a screening of a video that will show the horrors and atrocities perpetrated by the terrorist group Hamas on October 7. The video will be screened for Hollywood insiders.
Israeli-American Oscar-winning director Guy Nattiv, who directed the recent movie about Israeli leader Golda Meir that starred Helen Mirren, Golda, is one of the people behind the project.
Titled “Bearing Witness: The October 7th Massacre,” the film will include more than 40 minutes of film documenting the barbaric Hamas attack that killed more than 1,400 innocent Israeli civilians including babies. Some people were even burned alive.

“As a filmmaker, I swore that these images of October 7 would not be forgotten, and the world would see them,” said Guy Nattiv. “Because now the denial begins – it is a fake, it is not a fake. We cannot pass by in silence.”
“The project started with two determined and strong women – Sarah Greenberg, who made the connection with the IDF, and the public relations officer Melissa Tsukerman, who pushed for the event to happen,” Nativ added.
“I’m a humanist, I have Palestinian friends. But when I saw the horrific images from October 7 – it reminded me of my grandfather, who said that during the Holocaust, the world stood by and did nothing when Jews were sent to gas chambers,” said Guy Nattiv. “As a filmmaker, I swore that these scenes from October 7 would not be forgotten, and the world would see them.”
Gal Gadot has been taking to social media since the October 7 attack to promote the cause of saving the more than 240 Israelis who were taken hostage by Hamas and are being held captive in Gaza.
“At this moment there are hundreds of missing innocent Israelis, their families broken and begging for any piece of information, any lead to help bring them home,” she posted on Twitter. “I am using my platform to share their names. their faces, to tell the world what is happening. Please share their photos, share the stories together let’s #BringThemBack.”
Gal Gadot can currently be seen on Netflix in “Heart of Stone,” an action movie where she plays an intelligence operative for a shadowy global peacekeeping agency who races to stop a hacker from stealing its most valuable and dangerous weapon.
