Historic Victory in New York: "We Will Dance Again" Wins Emmy | WATCH
In a historic win, We Will Dance Again, a searing account of the Nova music festival massacre, takes home an American Emmy, a poignant moment of Israeli cultural recognition on the world stage.
The documentary chronicles the horrific events of the terrorist attack at the Nova music festival through the eyes of survivors, offering a chilling portrayal of the spirit of freedom, love, and youth brutally cut short. The film is broadcast on HOT8 and available on HOT’s digital video platforms.
A moving Israeli delegation attended the ceremony, including director Yariv Mozer, Nova survivors Yuval Shem Tov and Tamir Schatz, Natalia Kesaroti, mother of Keshet z”l, who lost his life at the festival, Rinat Klein, director of HOT8, Emilio Schenker, CEO of SIPUR, and Gideon Tadmor, chairman of SIPUR.
The documentary project by HOT8, SIPUR, and Slutzky Productions, directed by Yariv Mozer, took home the prestigious Emmy Award in the Outstanding Current Affairs Documentary category at the News & Documentary Emmy Awards held yesterday in New York.
*We Will Dance Again*, a collaborative effort by HOT8, SIPUR, and Slutzky Productions under the direction of acclaimed filmmaker Yariv Mozer, secured the American Emmy Award for Outstanding Current Affairs Documentary. The film was also nominated for Outstanding Editing: Documentary. This unprecedented achievement in the American Emmy competition stems from a collaboration with major U.S. content company Paramount.

“Yesterday, we experienced an extraordinary and thrilling moment in New York when *We Will Dance Again* won the American Emmy. This is a moment of immense pride, not just for HOT, but for everyone who recognizes the power of a human narrative to change minds.
