"#October8 was the number one #documentary in #America on its opening weekend and went on to finish 2025 as the fifth highest-grossing documentary of the year. In #Britain, no #cinema wants to screen it. #Director #WendySachs’ forensic account of what followed the #October7 massacres has struggled to find #UK platforms. #Cinemas declined to take it. Traditional #streaming deals proved elusive.
Its arrival on #Amazon and #AppleTV has not come through acquisition or promotional backing, but through persistence — and without marketing support. “So we’re doing our own promotion,” says Sachs plainly. The irony is not lost on her or her small team of #producers. October 8 examines institutional silence and organised narrative.
Two weeks after October 7, #Sachs began filming."
