Surviving October 7th: We Will Dance Again

9pm, BBC Two

When Hamas rockets appeared overhead at the Nova festival in Israel in 2023, the revellers mistook them for fireworks. The truth was more terrifying than they could have imagined. This horrifying film from Storyville keeps a tight, minute-by-minute focus on the events as they were experienced by the partygoers. There is no exploration of the wider context – “this film cannot tell everybody’s story,” says a disclaimer. But it is a reminder that to fail to sympathise with innocent civilians on both sides of the conflict is to lose your humanity. Phil Harrison
