Award-Winning, Emotional Documentary ‘Holding Liat’ Official Trailer

“There’s no way of knowing how much longer this is going to go on.” Film Forum has revealed the official trailer for an award-winning indie documentary film titled Holding Liat, which initially premiered at the 2025 Berlin Film Festival earlier this year. This is one of the most unique, openly honest, thoughtful films about the October 7th incident in Palestine. After Israeli-American teacher Liat Atzili & her husband Aviv are kidnapped from their kibbutz in Israel by Hamas forces, filmmaker Brandon Kramer, a relative, follows the experiences of Liat’s family. They face their own conflicting perspectives to fight for her release and the future of the places they call home. Balancing compassion for the family with varying opinions about the objectives of the current leadership in Israel and also in the USA, Holding Liat is “powerful and complex… a valuable work, not least for showing us that Israel and Netanyahu are not synonymous.” This has picked up prizes and screened at many prestigious festivals playing throughout 2025 and will open in limited theaters starting in January soon. For anyone interested in real people and real perspectives, this is worth a watch. // Continue Reading ›
