It’s currently available to rent or buy through Amazon Prime and AppleTV, but the CBC Gem debut is a major step forward, says its Canadian director, Barry Avrich. “After we won the prize at TIFF, we reached out to CBC, and they watched the film and said, ‘Yes, we’d love to take it. Even before Avrich approached the Tibon family to tell their story, the film rights had been sold and a script, tentatively titled October 7th, had been written. He’s hopeful for a resolution, and yet realistic. “I hand it to the film festival and any film festival for showing a balance of storytelling on this topic,” he said.
