TIFF Cancels Oct. 7 Documentary Over Hamas Copyright
A new documentary about the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel by Hamas has been booted from the Toronto International Film Festival — because organizers insist the filmmakers need the rights from the terrorist group to use their horrific footage of the massacre.The festival claims the movie, called “The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue,” did not meet certain requirements to screen at the prestigious September event, widely attended by Hollywood stars and bigwigs, including not securing so-called “legal clearance” to use Hamas’ livestreamed video of the rape, murder and kidnapping of Jews.
The stunned filmmakers, including Canadian director Barry Avrich, slammed the decision, telling Deadline that TIFF has “defied its mission and censored its own programming by refusing this film.”
“The Road Between Us” tells the story of retired Israel Defense Forces General Noam Tibon, who set out to save his family and others during Hamas’ deadly attack, in which 1,200 people were killed and 251 were taken hostage.
It includes widely seen videos taken by the terrorists of their murders of Israelis at the Nova music festival and in nearby communities.
While TIFF alleges they required permission from Hamas to use the footage, the documentary’s line producer, Talia Harris Ram, told the Times of Israel that their rationale was ridiculous.

No to Hamas and no to all Muslims anyone that worships Muhammad who was a pedophile we want nothing to do with them, it's a disgrace it's not even a religion it's some kind of a sick sect of pedophilia they need to get rid of it and we should not be accepting any Muslims into our country or supporting any of them in any other country a complete disgrace!
