Retired Israeli military general Noam Tibon was enjoying a quiet morning on Oct. 7, 2023, when he received a text from his son, Amir, that he never could have expected.

Hamas was in his family's kibbutz, Amir told his father, and they were killing people.

"At that moment, [I made] a decision that I'm using all my skills, all my experience, everything, in order to save my family," Tibon told CBC News. "And I think this was the most important decision that I took on that day."

So he headed out on a 14 hour journey to save his son's family, completely unaware of what danger might lie ahead.

Tibon says his story is about the lengths we go to for family. And director Barry Avrich, who turned that story into the documentary is excited to have his movie judged by audiences at long last.
