Paramount+ and MTV Documentary Films told JNS exclusively on Tuesday that they plan to expand access to Montana Tucker’s documentary “The Children of October 7” on a global basis starting on June 2, the first day of Shavuot.

The 36-minute film will be available in all of the areas where Paramount+ is accessible: Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Latin America, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

“In this documentary, Montana Tucker shined a light on the stories of devastation children experienced on Oct. 7 and how their lives are forever changed,” Shari Redstone, the chair of Paramount Global, told JNS.

“With the strong viewership in the United States, we are glad to meet the demand from audiences around the world for access to these unfiltered and unforgettable stories of the impact of that day,” Redstone said.

Eytan Schwartz, the film’s Israeli producer, previously told JNS that “all my life, we grew up with the stories of Holocaust survivors on Holocaust Remembrance Day.”

“Here we were at this moment, where we needed to capture the moment of the children when they’re still children,” he told JNS.

Israeli children were among the “most vulnerable victims of the Hamas attacks” on Oct. 7, Paramount+ and MTV Documentary Films stated.

“Of the estimated 1,200 Israelis murdered, 37 were children. Of those who survived, over 100 children lost one parent, over 20 lost both parents and more than 35 were kidnapped to Gaza,” the two stated. “Hundreds of children were injured and thousands were displaced from their homes.”

Tucker stated that the documentary “is one of the most important projects I’ve ever been part of.”

“As the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, hearing these children share the horrors they endured—losing their families, their homes and their innocence in a single morning—felt hauntingly familiar,” she stated.

“I’m grateful they trusted me with their stories and that they have this platform to share their truth,” she added. “Thanks to Paramount+ and MTV, the world will bear witness.”

The Anti-Defamation League stated that “hearing the firsthand accounts from children who survived the Oct. 7 massacre is incredibly moving” and that it is “in awe of the strength and resilience shown through their conversations with Montana Tucker in ‘The Children of October 7.’” The UJA-Federation of NY stated of the film that it gives “new meaning to our promise to never forget.”

Paramount+ also hosts the 90-minute 2024 documentary “We Will Dance Again” about the Nova music festival on Oct. 7.
