AL TIRA
DIARY FROM A NATION AT WAR
Al Tira (Do Not Fear): Diary from a Nation at War is a poignant documentary by lawyer and artist Jonathan York. In a series of intimate vignettes, the film captures the daily life of Israelis during the conflict that erupted on October 7th, all compiled from footage filmed on York's iPhone during a three-week stay in the country in December 2023. The piece provides an unfiltered look into the emotional rollercoaster experienced by the people of Israel, from the funeral of a soldier to the quotidian oddities of wartime.
From Kibbutz Beeri to Hostage Square, "Al Tira" offers a compelling portrait of a nation grappling with the realities of conflict while striving to maintain a sense of normalcy amidst chaos. Through its deeply personal lens, the documentary ultimately leaves a lasting impression of the strength and humanity that endure in the face of grief and adversity.
