Director Eyal Datz, who was aboard Flydubai Flight 1073 with his 75-year-old father Yaakov, plans to create a documentary film about the passengers' experience. The film, which will be broadcast by Kan 11, will explore the moments when the plane was on the verge of crashing and the failures that led to the incident. Datz began interviewing fellow passengers shortly after their landing in Israel to gather their accounts of the harrowing experience. The documentary is expected to feature new testimonies alongside previously unseen footage filmed during the flight and in Saudi Arabia. Datz has previously directed films for Kan 11, including "Something Piquant," "Ten Days in October," and "I Will Hide My Face," and produced "Cult" and "Tomorrow Has Already Passed." Datz and Kan 11 are not the first to develop a film about the event; HOT 8 and Slutzky Productions announced they were working on their own documentary just a day after the flight.
