‘We Will Dance Again,” a gripping documentary shedding light on the October 7 terror attack at the musical festival in Southern Israel, has been been acquired by Movistar Plus+ in Spain and Canada’s Paramount + Global.
The 90-minute, award-winning documentary is a co-production between global entertainment studio Sipur and factual producer Bitachon 365, in collaboration with MGM Television, a division of Amazon MGM Studios, and HSCC. The doc is being represented in internationally by Chris Grant’s Osmosis Global.
The doc is produced by HSCC’s Michal Weits and helmed by Yariv Mozer, who last collaborated with Sipur and MGM Television on the acclaimed docuseries “The Devil’s Confession: The Lost Eichmann Tapes.” It just garnered strong ratings and attracted young demos and millennials following its debuts on Paramount+ in the U.S., the BBC in the U.K., and on RTL in Germany. It will next be broadcast on Nine Network in Australia. .
“Everyone who has worked so tirelessly over the past year to bring this incredibly shocking and important piece of work to the world is incredibly gratified by the overwhelming viewer reception it has received,” said Grant.
“Based on the initial input we are getting back from our broadcast and streaming partners, we believe RTL’s strong ratings experience is a story that will be repeated across multiple territories,” Grant continued.

Paramount+ co-produced alongside BBC Storyville in the U.K. and HOT Channel 8 in Israel.
