Kan 11, the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation's television channel, announced Sunday the upcoming release of a new documentary film focusing on Flydubai Flight 1073. The flight, en route from Dubai to Israel, was diverted to Saudi Arabia during an attempted hijacking. The documentary will center on the experiences of the 174 Israeli passengers aboard the aircraft.
The film is directed by Eyal Datz, who was himself a passenger on the flight along with his father. Datz interviewed fellow passengers to document their accounts of the incident. The film is expected to reveal new details about the circumstances leading to the hijacking attempt, alongside previously unpublished video footage and documentation filmed in real-time on the plane and on the ground in Saudi Arabia.
The documentary is produced by Beyond Creative and Yoav Leshem. Datz has previously directed several documentaries for Kan, including "Something Piquant," "Ten Days in October," and "I Will Hide My Face," as well as producing the films "Cult" and "Tomorrow Has Already Passed."
