A new documentary film focusing on the dramatic events of Flydubai Flight 1073 is currently in production for Kan 11 and Kan BOX. The film will highlight the experiences of the Israeli passengers who were on board and took their fate into their own hands during the crisis.
Director and documentary filmmaker Eyal Datz, who was himself a passenger on the flight with his 75-year-old father, Yaakov, is creating the film. Datz experienced the dramatic events firsthand while traveling to Israel.
The flight carried 174 Israelis from diverse backgrounds who found themselves united by a shared fate and the singular goal of survival. Shortly after the dramatic landing, Datz embarked on a journey to connect with the passengers, seeking to understand their backgrounds, their experiences during the near-crash, and the events leading up to it.
The documentary is expected to feature new passenger testimonies alongside previously unpublished video footage and recordings captured in real-time on the plane and in Saudi Arabia.
Datz is an established documentary filmmaker, known for his work on "Something Piquant," "Ten Days in October," and "I Will Hide My Face" for Kan, as well as producing "Cult" and "Tomorrow Has Already Passed," which screened at festivals internationally.
