@HOLDINGLIAT left me holding my heart.

So moved by the latest doc from @meridianhillpix. HOLDING LIAT is Oscar-shortlisted—and for good reason. It’s a film that’s hard to face, yet impossible to look away from.

If you can, see this transformative film!

Israeli American Liat Atzili was held captive in Gaza for 54 days after the October 7 attack, when her husband Aviv was killed.

She says Hamas fighters said "it was their job to keep us safe and to keep us healthy until we were released in a hostage deal.”

.@HOLDINGLIAT is an extraordinary film about an extraordinary woman: Liat Beinin Atzili, held hostage by Hamas for 54 days. I spoke with her & the film’s director Brandon Kramer about the family’s fight for her release and holding onto humanity. It was an emotional conversation.
