Remarks by survivors of the attack, Tomer Wiener and Shovel Roberman, will precede the film.

This film captures never-before-heard eyewitness accounts from released hostages, survivors, and first responders.

During the October 7 attacks on Israeli towns and at the Nova Music Festival, women and girls were raped, assaulted, and mutilated. Released hostages have revealed that Israeli captives in Gaza have also been sexually assaulted.

Despite the indisputable evidence, these atrocities have received little scrutiny from human rights groups and international organizations. Many leading figures in politics, academia, and media have attempted to minimize or even deny that they occurred. In Screams Before Silence, a 60-minute, presenter-led documentary film, Sheryl Sandberg, former COO of Meta and founder of LeanIn.org, interviews multiple eyewitnesses, released hostages, first responders, medical and forensic experts, and survivors of the Hamas massacres.

Tomer Wiener, a 25 year-old student of Chinese medicine from Haifa, Israel and Shoval Roberman, a 23-year old pre-school teacher also from Haifa, set up a sale of products at the Nova Festival and survived the horror.

Tomer served as an officer of combat engineering in the elite Yahalom Commando Unit of the Israel Defense Forces from 2017-2021.  Shoval served as a social worker of combat engineering in the Israel Defense Forces from 2020-2022.
