Les guetteuses du 7 octobre

The documentary centers on 23 young women, aged 18 to 20, who performed mandatory military service in a unit dedicated to video surveillance of the Gaza Strip. Known in Israel as the eyes of the state, these women were responsible for monitoring threats and alerting authorities. Despite their warnings before the attack, their concerns were disregarded.

Les guetteuses du 7 octobre presents a poignant narrative of both the watchwomen who survived and the parents of those who lost their lives during the assault. Together, they seek justice and truth, aiming to expose the vulnerabilities in a security system that many believed to be infallible. This film is significant for those interested in contemporary issues, military narratives, and the personal stories behind larger geopolitical events.
