OCTOBER 8 offers a searing look at the eruption of anti-Semitism on college campuses, social media and in the streets of America starting the day after Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7. The film unpacks this pivotal moment at American universities where some celebrated Hamas as freedom fighters rather than terrorists.
OCTOBER 8 posits that Hamas has tried to infiltrate American culture with their messaging and propaganda, finding some resonance among faculty and Gen Z students on elite college campuses. It also examines the normalization of anti-Zionism that has become the modern iteration of anti-Semitism.
