Holding Liat
Sunday, Apr 26, 2026 at 2:00 PM - English
On the morning of October 7, 2023, Israeli-American Liat Atzili and her husband Aviv were at home when Hamas attacked their kibbutz.
By nightfall, Liat and Aviv are captives in Gaza along with 250 other people 12 of whom, like Liat, are American citizens. Caught between international diplomacy and a rapidly escalating war, their family must face their own uncertainty and conflicting perspectives in the pursuit of Liat and Aviv's release. This agonizing process, and the ultimate fate of their loved ones, challenges how the members of the family understand themselves and their place in the conflict. Through the intimate lens of a family's experience, HOLDING LIAT poses complex questions of identity across generations, as the family is thrust into the epicenter of a global conflict rapidly unfolding in real-time. An independent production of Protozoa (BLACK SWAN) and Meridian Hill Pictures (THE FIRST STEP).
