About Screams Before Silence
Never-before-heard eyewitness accounts from released hostages, survivors, and first responders.
During the October 7th attacks on Israeli towns and at the Nova Music Festival, women and girls were raped, assaulted, and mutilated in a brutal rampage of gender-based violence. Released hostages have revealed that sexual assaults were also inflicted on Israeli hostages while in captivity.
Despite the indisputable evidence, these atrocities have received little scrutiny from human rights groups and international organizations. Many leading figures in politics, academia, and media have attempted to minimize, or even deny they occurred. “Screams Before Silence,” a 60-minute, presenter-led documentary film. Sheryl Sandberg, former COO of Meta and founder of Leanin.org, interviews multiple eyewitnesses, released hostages, first responders, medical and forensic experts, and survivors of the Hamas massacres.
Screams Before Silence is produced by Kastina Communications (producer of Fauda Season 1), directed by Anat Stalinsky, executive produced by Carol and Joey Low, Meny Aviram and Eytan Schwartz, and produced by Zameret Alexandrony.
