Mamad

Based on a true story. On the morning of October 7, 2023, a red alert siren drives a mother, her children and their grandmother into their reinforced safe room in Kibbutz Nirim, Israel. Confined to the small concrete space, three generations confront fear, memory and inherited trauma as danger escalates outside. MAMAD is a film about waiting, and what that waiting does to a family.
WHY WE LIKE THIS FILM: An intense dramatic short showing some of the impossible choices families needed to make during the October 7th attacks,
