Since the tragedy of October 7, 2023, many films, books and other forms of artistic expression have sought to depict the atrocities committed by Hamas terrorists and other Palestinian organizations on that day.
According to numerous reviews, among the documentaries that have covered the event, Pierre Rehov's documentary, Pogrom(s), stands out for its factual and historical approach to the tragedy.
Having made documentaries on Middle Eastern conflicts for over 20 years, and specializing in terrorism, Pierre Rehov has chosen to reconstruct the massacre through the eyes of the first responders, and to call on political analysts and historians to re-establish the true context of this attempted genocide.
The film is made up of images that are sometimes difficult to watch, but always announced with modesty, without unnecessarily playing on the audience's emotions. It invites us to reflect on all the other pogroms committed in the name of political Islam, which the world has forgotten. It also takes us back to the birth of the Palestinian cause during the Nazi period, and its promotion in the 1960s by Soviet Russia and the KGB.
This film is indispensable for understanding how, on October 7, 2023, 1,200 innocent people were massacred by Hamas, 7,000 were wounded, several hundred kidnapped and more than 100 are still held hostage in Gaza's tunnels. But, more than that, it allows us to assess the mechanisms that led a large part of the Western world to support, the very next day, not the victims of Hamas, but the torturers who have unlimited means at their disposal to finance their propaganda.
Here is the film's trailer.
You can view the entire 90-minute film before others (for a small fee) here.
