The documentary "Whose Are You" follows women evacuated from Kibbutz Kfar Aza after the October 7th Hamas attack, focusing on their shared experiences and newfound strength. Director Dotan Naveh spent two years documenting the lives of these women, some of whom lost partners or were injured during the assault.
The film centers on women like Jessica, Elai, and Noa, who moved to Kibbutz Kfar Aza to be with their husbands, who were members of the close-knit community. They faced the recurring question "Whose are you?" within the kibbutz's insular social structure. Their similar circumstances, including being young mothers or pregnant, forged a strong bond between them.
A WhatsApp group named "Whose Are You" became a vital support system, acting as a surrogate extended family and a source of closeness and mutual aid for the women.
