Summary
The documentary centers on 10 Israeli musicians who lost loved ones, friends or homes in the Oct. 7 attack and rebuilt their connection to music through a Los Angeles rock camp.
More than 1,200 people were killed and over 240 taken hostage in the Hamas assault; the survivors joined Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp months later and performed with artists tied to Guns N’ Roses, Van Halen and Black Sabbath.
At the Viper Room finale, filmmakers said many played in honor of relatives and friends killed that day, with one survivor calling the camp her first chance to publicly tell her story and release her grief onstage.
Produced by Kevin Bright and directed by Brad Allgood, the film avoids political debate to focus on trauma, resilience and music as a path from grief to healing.
The Bridge premiered in Jerusalem on Aug. 19 and begins a select North America rollout on Oct. 5 before a wider theatrical release in November.
