Liat Atzili was kidnapped from her kibbutz on October 7. What begins as a chronicle of her parents, sister, and children's efforts to secure her return, becomes a portrait of conflicting politics, impulses towards anger, indifference, and compassion straining the bonds of one grieving family who are trying to deal with the impossible.

He directed The First Step, City of Trees, and the Webby Award-winning documentary series The Messy Truth.
