A documentary film about the thwarted terrorist attack on a Flydubai flight, prevented by Israeli passengers, is set to be produced by "Kan 11". The film will be created by documentary director Eyal Datz, who was aboard the flight with his 75-year-old father, Yaakov. The production is expected to reveal new details and documentation previously undisclosed.
Shortly after the dramatic landing in Israel, Datz embarked on a journey to interview the Israeli passengers who shared the harrowing experience. The film aims to explore their identities, their ordeal during the moments the plane was on the verge of crashing, and the security failures that led to the incident. New testimonies from passengers, alongside previously unpublished documentary video footage and real-time recordings from the plane and Saudi Arabia, will tell the dramatic story of the flight.
Datz is an established documentary filmmaker, with previous works for "Kan" including "Something Piquant," "Ten Days in October," and "I Will Hide My Face." He also produced "Cult" and "Tomorrow Has Already Passed," which were featured in festivals both in Israel and internationally.
