Israeli director sees Oct. 7 drama 'Stay Forte' as his personal war against Hamas

Israeli director Doron Eran has released 'Stay Forte,' a dramatic feature film inspired by the tragic story of three hostages killed by Israeli soldiers in Gaza after escaping captivity. The movie fictionalizes the ordeal of Yotam Haim, Alon Shamriz, and Samar Talalka, exploring their abduction during the October 2023 Hamas-led attack, their struggle for survival, and the heartbreaking circumstances of their deaths. Eran, deeply affected by the events and the lack of governmental accountability, sees the film as his personal response and mission to share the hostages' stories and the broader impact of the attack on Israeli society. Filmed in Georgia's underground tunnels and involving the families of the hostages, 'Stay Forte' aims to reach international audiences despite challenges faced by Israeli filmmakers, including cultural boycotts and festival hesitancy.
