Malka Lawrence speaks with Wendy Sachs, the Director and Executive Producer, and Nimrod Erez, the Producer of “October 8” the powerful documentary that confronts the alarming rise of antisemitism in the U.S. following the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel. It weaves a compelling narrative that connects deeply personal testimony with the broader cultural and political forces shaping this moment in history. Directed by Wendy Sachs, an Emmy Award-winning journalist and media strategist, the film delivers an urgent and unflinching look at hate, identity, and the cost of silence. Nimrod Erez, the film’s producer, editor, and co-writer, brings authenticity, urgency, and careful storytelling. His work adds emotional depth and clear structure, helping the film deliver its powerful message without sensationalism. In this interview, Wendy and Nimrod discuss the making of “October 8”, the responsibility of truth-telling, and the role of film in confronting rising hate.
