In a landscape marked by age-old conflict and sacred ties to the land, From the River is a riveting exploration of Israel’s unyielding struggle for security and peace. The film offers a raw portrayal of the horrific October 7 tragedy, where hundreds of innocent lives were lost in an unprecedented wave of terror attacks, bringing Israel to its knees in grief. As the nation continues to reel from this profound loss, the film gives voice to the survivors and families forever scarred by the violence, their testimonies capturing the deep sorrow, resilience, and unity of a people determined to endure.

Through harrowing interviews and an unflinching examination of the political, religious, and ideological tensions fueling the conflict, the documentary reveals how radical forces use terror as a weapon to strip away Israel's peace. Yet, amidst the unthinkable atrocities, the film also spotlights the enduring hope in a future free from fear and bloodshed. With its deeply personal and empathetic approach, From the River is a call to remember the lives tragically cut short, honor the survivors, and reflect on the strength of Israel in the face of relentless adversity. This is more than a story of conflict; it is a story of survival, remembrance, and a nation's continued pursuit of peace in a world that all too often denies it.
