Channel 13 will air a documentary titled "Will You Find Me? Okay?" on Monday, October 5th, focusing on Eden Yerushalmi. Yerushalmi was abducted by Hamas terrorists from the Nova music festival on October 7, 2023, and later killed in captivity. The film's title is derived from a phrase Yerushalmi uttered during a phone call while hiding after the festival attack. It incorporates recordings of her conversations, footage from the Nova festival, and self-shot videos made by Yerushalmi during her escape.
The documentary's production team followed Yerushalmi's mother, Shirit, her sisters Shani and May, and her close friend Arbel Ashkenazi for two years. Work on the film commenced days after Yerushalmi's kidnapping and continued for approximately a year after news emerged of her death and that of five other hostages in a Hamas tunnel.
The film, directed by Yula Gedron, received the award for best Israeli debut at the Jerusalem Film Festival in 2026. The broadcast on Channel 13 is scheduled to begin at 9:15 PM.
