Directed by Wendy Sachs and starring Debra Messing, Michael Rapoport and Noa Tishby, October 8 exposes the emergence of antisemitism on college campuses, in social media and on the streets since October 7, 2023, when Hamas unleashed its brutal assault on Israel. The film provides an understanding of the shift in the current narrative as it pertains to Israel and how the real story is being silenced. After knocking on door after door to find a distributor in Hollywood and being turned down, AMC miraculously agreed to air October 8 for this week only.
