New Documentary Exposes NYC’s Raw Emotions After October 7 Attacks
A new documentary called Torn: The Israel-Palestine Poster War on NYC Streets has arrived, capturing the raw emotions of New Yorkers during a turbulent time. Directed by Maryam Keshavarz and executive produced by Jane Rosenthal, the film explores how a city struggled with grief, protest, and division after the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel. The posters first emerged in the days following the October 7 news. Bold red text at the top read KIDNAPPED, accompanied by images of people from different religions and ages. These faces—some young, some elderly—became impossible to ignore. The documentary serves as a time capsule of a moment when New Yorkers were forced to confront a distant war up close. It challenges viewers to look beyond their own perspectives and see the faces—and the pain—of others. For those who watch, the film may not resolve anything, but it demands a conversation.
