Retired Israeli army general Noam Tibon was peacefully starting his day on October 7, 2023, when he received a surprising message from his son, Amir. The message revealed that Hamas had infiltrated their family’s kibbutz and was carrying out deadly attacks.
Upon learning this, Tibon immediately made a resolute decision to utilize his expertise and experience to ensure the safety of his family. He embarked on a 14-hour journey to rescue his son’s family, braving unknown dangers along the way.
Tibon emphasized that his actions were driven by the profound love and dedication one has for their family. This compelling narrative has been transformed into the documentary titled “The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue” by director Barry Avrich, who eagerly anticipates the audience’s reception of the film.
The documentary’s journey has been tumultuous since August 13, when it was initially removed from the TIFF lineup before being reinstated, adding an element of surprise to its unveiling.
