On the morning of October 7, 2023, Israeli American Liat Atzili and her husband, Aviv, were at home when Hamas attacked their kibbutz. By nightfall, Liat and Aviv were captives in Gaza along with 250 other people—12 of whom, like Liat, were American citizens.

Caught between international diplomacy and a rapidly escalating war, Liat’s family must face uncertainty and conflicting political perspectives in the pursuit of her and Aviv's release. This agonizing process and the ultimate fate of their loved ones challenge how the members of the family understand themselves and their place in the conflict.

Through the intimate lens of a family's experience being thrust into the epicenter of a global conflict, HOLDING LIAT poses complex questions of identity across generations.
