Susan Zirinsky, the former president of CBS News and longtime executive producer of its news magazine 48 Hours, is behind Paramount+’s We Will Dance Again. The documentary, which streamed on Tuesday, takes a minute-by-minute, you-are-there approach to Hamas militants’ murder and abduction of Nova music festival attendees in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. The attack, part of a wider armed incursion that killed nearly 1,200 people, led to the ongoing Gaza war.

Director Yariv Mozer explained to The Hollywood Reporter that the film’s narrative, told through interviews with surviving festivalgoers, relies on extensive use of graphically violent video material taken in real time — including footage retrieved from the assailants — “to be able to show how enormous the scale of this attack was and the brutality of these atrocities against people who couldn’t defend themselves.”

Zirinsky, who has also produced documentaries about 9/11 and the 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas, agreed with Mozer’s rationale.
