Hamas: Beginning, Rise and Everyday Life of Terror

About This Movie

So, this documentary dives deep into the world of Hamas—specifically focusing on the events leading up to the October 7th attack. It's got this raw, almost unsettling vibe throughout, with a pacing that feels deliberately slow at times, allowing you to really sit in the tension of what they’re presenting. The film features a mix of archival footage and interviews that together create a grim atmosphere, almost haunting. You get a sense of the underground planning and how everyday life intertwines with these larger narratives. It doesn’t shy away from the complexities, which I think is pretty bold. While the director's identity remains a mystery, the film still manages to present a coherent, albeit disturbing, picture of its subject matter.
