Director Barry Avrich on his Oct. 7th Film and the TIFF Censorship Controversy
Barry Avrich’s October 7th documentary, The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue, was disinvited from TIFF, then reinstated – and just won the festival’s People’s Choice Documentary Award. Avrich joins Steve to discuss what exactly happened, why it was pulled, how he doesn’t think he made a political film about the war in Gaza, the dangers of censorship and protesting art, and how a film about a family rescuing their children and grandchildren became the centre of so much controversy.
