TIFF and Oct. 7 documentary makers come to ‘resolution,’ film will be screened after dayslong back-and-forth
In a dramatic U-turn, the Toronto International Film Festival has said it will now show a documentary about Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel, and in a joint statement with the filmmakers apologized for originally yanking the film.
“We are pleased to share that The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue will be an official TIFF selection at the festival this year, where we believe it will contribute to the vital conversations that film is meant to inspire,” the statement from TIFF CEO Cameron Bailey and filmmaker Barry Avrich read.

“In this case, TIFF’s communication around its requirements did not clearly articulate the concerns and roadblocks that arose and for that, we are sorry,” the statement continued.
The world premiere for the movie, which had been booted out of the festival for using footage taken by Hamas fighters without the terror group’s permission, will now be held on Aug. 20.
“Both TIFF and the filmmakers have heard the pain and frustration expressed by the public and we want to address this together,” the statement continued, concluding a bitter dispute between the festival and the movie’s creators.
