Oz’s List
Synopsis
Oz Davidian became an unlikely hero when he braved the Hamas attack on the Nova Festival, armed with only a handgun, to make 15 daring rescues and save 120 lives. One year later, the 50-year-old farmer and lawyer confronts the emotional scars of the day he became an accidental hero. He retraces his harrowing journey, revisiting the exact locations where he confronted terrorists, still haunted by the faces of those he couldn’t reach. Through intimate interviews and dashcam footage, the film explores the impact of trauma and the profound connection forged between Davidian and those whose lives he saved.

Reviews
-
"A powerful, deeply moving portrait of heroism—the kind that comes not from fearlessness, but from courage in spite of it."
