A BBC documentary about the 7 October massacre at the Nova Music Festival has won one of the most prestigious awards in global TV.
We Will Dance Again took the outstanding current affairs documentary gong at the Emmys in New York last night – adding the title to the International Emmys Honor Award for most impactful film to society.
It tells the story of the Nova music festival that became a killing field as Hamas terrorists stormed the site near Re’im, murdering over 360 people and abducting dozens more.
The documentary weaves mobile phone footage recorded by victims with first-hand testimony from survivors of the Nova Music Festival massacre.

“This award is a clear message to all those who seek to demonise the only Jewish state, diminish or deny the atrocities committed on Oct 7th, to dehumanise global Jewry and who seek to redefine the true meaning of what it is to be a Zionist. Stand up, speak out, be proud. Am Yisrael Chai.”
First aired on BBC Two and now distributed globally, the documentary has drawn praise for its raw depiction of trauma, courage and humanity in the face of terror.
