Holding Liat is a 2025 documentary following the family of Liat Beinin Atzili, who was kidnapped from her home in Kibbutz Nir Oz during the October 7th terrorist attacks. 

Brandon and Lance Kramer, both documentarians, began filming right after Liat and Aviv were taken not knowing how the story would unfold. 

The film distributors write that: "In the weeks unfolding after Liat is kidnapped, her father resists efforts to use her captivity to justify escalating violence in Gaza, exposing political and emotional rifts within his family as they struggle to find a way to bring her home.”   

It is also an up front account of how one family, my extended family, dealt with the excruciating pressure of not knowing whether their loved ones were still alive. -Chava Beinin
