Israel’s top investigative and current affairs program Uvda (Fact in Hebrew) has produced a package of documentary films highlighting news reports from inside Israel covering events from the deadly Hamas massacre on Oct. 7 and Israel’s war against Hamas terrorists controlling Gaza.
The series, titled Inside Israel: This Is War, is currently comprised of seven films, each running between 20 and 30 minutes long, and is available as either individual shorts or a package. Global producer and distributor Keshet International (KI) will handle international distribution for the series, which it announced on Friday. The content will be available to different broadcasters around the world for them to buy and broadcast on their platforms or channels.
The film series includes an in-depth and first-hand look at the the Oct. 7 attacks by filmmaker and Uvda correspondent Itai Anghel, who visited Kibbutz Nir Oz, where 25 percent of the residents were kidnapped or murdered by Hamas terrorists. Anghel’s film features footage from the kibbutz’s CCTV cameras and testimonies from families of the terror victims.
Another film in the series shows how a security coordinator and her team held back the Palestinian terrorists for hours from the farming community Kibbutz Nir Am on Oct. 7, and how their bravery resulted in not a single member of the kibbutz being kidnapped or murdered that day.
In Be’eri’s Nurse, investigative reporter Ben Shani visits Kibbutz Be’eri, which was almost completely burnt down by Hamas terrorists and had a third of its members either kidnapped or killed. He also speaks to survivors of the kibbutz, including a nurse, who were evacuated to a hotel near the Dead Sea that has been turned into a refugee camp.
“We have hand-picked this package of films with our colleagues at Keshet 12 and Uvda, following requests from our clients for in-depth reporting from inside Israel on the horrifying events of October 7th,” said Kelly Wright, KI’s MD of distribution. “Produced by Uvda‘s internationally recognized team of award-winning filmmakers, these reports offer a different perspective from foreign news coverage — one more focused on the individuals affected by these devastating attacks, and their personal stories of bravery, resilience, and trauma. We hope these films will give international viewers a greater understanding of the devastating impact of October 7th attacks on the people of Israel.”
Uvda is Israel’s longest–running long-form news magazine show, reporting on both domestic and international topics. It first aired in 1993 and is produced for Israel’s television channel Keshet 12.
KI said that as Uvda continues to report on the Israel-Hamas war, more reports will be included in the Inside Israel: This Is War package.
