đź’¨ Abstract

The Toronto International Film Festival removed "The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue," a documentary about a retired Israeli general's efforts during the 2023 Hamas attack. The festival cited issues with footage rights and legal clearance, while filmmakers called it censorship. The film captures the general's actions during the attack and includes Hamas's own livestreamed footage. This decision follows similar controversies at TIFF, including the cancellation of a film about Russian soldiers in the Ukraine war.
