“Staffers refused to work if this film about a grandfather rescuing his family on Oct 7 was shown”
Oct 7 was probably the most filmed atrocity in history. But most of the filming was done by the Hamas, Islamic Jihad and PLO attackers. Do the Islamic terrorists get copyright ownership of the footage of their killings and kidnappings?
In Canada, apparently they do.
There have been a number of documentaries made about the Oct 7 massacres and film festivals and theaters have found reasons to reject them. ‘The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue’, the story of a man getting into a car, setting out to rescue family members and then eventually saving others, is the latest victim of an absurd pretext for not screening it.
A new documentary about the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel by Hamas has been booted from the Toronto International Film Festival — because organizers insist the filmmakers need the rights from the terrorist group to use their horrific footage of the massacre.
The festival claims the movie, called “The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue,” did not meet certain requirements to screen at the prestigious September event, widely attended by Hollywood stars and bigwigs, including not securing so-called “legal clearance” to use Hamas’ livestreamed video of the rape, murder and kidnapping of Jews.
The copyright excuse is a pretext. The director of another documentary, Oct 8, stated that, “The truth is that TIFF staffers refused to work if this film about a grandfather rescuing his family on Oct 7 was shown at TIFF.”
Meanwhile anti-Israel propaganda docs like No Other Land continue to appear even though many of these documentaries don’t bother with legal clearance, they don’t discuss how their scenes are staged and don’t follow the rules. But it’s not about the rules, it’s about the propaganda.
A documentary about the massacres however is expected to get permission from Hamas.

Whenever you think pro-Hamas scum can’t shock you anymore, they take their cheek to a whole new level of arrogance and hypocrisy! Shared, thank you!
Ed Brennan says
These are the Jew hating ‘Gobshites for gaza’ who will help Islam to destroy our Judeo/Christian way of life, if we let them.
Ban Islam.
Job done.

When I first heard this news, I thought that the source was The Onion or the Babylon Bee.
Crusader says
I expect Israelis to get a copy of this film and upload on the internet for millions to see!
gravenimage says
I hope so, Crusader!
The Istanbulian says
Does this mean we can ban Islam for its cheap knockoff infringement of Judaism?
Huh?!? says
This is a baloney sandwich. TIFF is afraid of the jihadis. I hope Crusader is right and Israel uploads this film across the internet.
Walter Sieruk says
The Muslim terrorists chiefs of Hamas are willing to do anything it takes to hide truth from the Canadian public about how completely evil they and their jihad organization really is . Likewise, they don’t want the Canadian people to know just how horrendously brutal cruel vile, heinous and maliciously murderous their Muslim terrorists are , As they had proven by their evil unconscionable horrific actions on October 7th 2023.

TIFF = Terrorist Islamic Film Festival
Abu majid says
Europe say no fake misbehavior because no real evidence. Maybe you go put a more fake for Hamas? No, Europe know the true. Netanyahoo lied to west for Hamas. This website is telling the true 5 this time.
gravenimage says
Hamas released footeage of the kidnappers bragging about raping Israeli women, and Hamas themslves releasd the bodies of the murdered Bibas children. The idea that Israelis kidnapped, raped, and murdered themselves is twisted.
Abu majid says
No. If you big movies company, like MGM, you can no put fake news. This movie owner know now what is the true .. in Europe no can put your fake news and propaganda story.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Movies can put in anything. Besides, forget movies, there aren’t even consequences for news organizations for getting things wrong
All Palestinian muslims – be it from Gaza, Judea, Samaria and Israel proper – should be sent to Somalia. Maybe Puntland, maybe Mogadishu itself. Al Shabab can have some fun w/ Hamas and islamic jihad
gravenimage says
MGM is a movie studio, not a news agency. The claim that all of Europe has banned films in favor of Pallywood is quite false.
And Hamas itself affirmed murderng the Bibas children and raping Israeli women.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Of all the charges ever leveled against “Netanyahoo” (sic), this one that he’s doing anything for Hamas takes the cake. Abu majid is a genuine retard like most of his countrymen

Oct 7 Doc Banned for Not Getting Hamas Permission to Use Footage
…………………………………………….
Just insane. This has *nothing* to do wth copyright.
Mike says
As long as we’re discussing this, let’s take a moment to acknowledge that Hamas were NOT the only participants in the invasion and massacre; Palestinian civilians and UNWRA employees were there as well. Please stop feeding the lie, now mainstream thought, that the average Palestinian is under the boot of Hamas. I know it’s not intentional, but propaganda is language, so we need to be watchful about how we use it. The average Palestinian is a blood-drunk fascist ghoul with nothing positive to offer the world, full stop. Thanks for your time.

Well said. C’mon who is kidding whom. Hamas spent twenty years building miles of tunnels and setting up thousands of missile launch sites and all Palestinians plead ignorance about this.

I wonder who raised the original legal objection to them using their footage? Hamas?
abu taleb says
In term of stupidity, the left is not far too far behind the Islamists. They can not find a more logical reason than “Hamas does not give the copy right”.

Erschreckend, welcher faschistische UNGEIST sich im Westen breitgemacht hat.
Mir fehlen langsam die Worte. Nur noch widerlich.

Canada surges in the international Islamopandering derby.
OLD GUY says
Since when do you have to get permission from Ham Ass for anything.
Sister Alberti says
On Telegram, Hamas has proudly posted many videos of their attack.
