The Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel (ARCCI) is a leading organization dedicated to providing support, advocacy, and resources for survivors of sexual violence across Israel. With a network of centers nationwide, ARCCI works tirelessly to promote awareness, education, and policy change to prevent sexual violence and ensure comprehensive care for those affected. Their mission is to create a safer, more just society by empowering survivors and advocating for their rights.

“Screams Before Silence” presents never-before-heard eyewitness accounts from released hostages, survivors, and first responders. During the October 7 attacks on Israeli towns and at the Nova Music Festival, women and girls were raped, assaulted, and mutilated. Returned hostages have disclosed that Israeli captives in Gaza have also been sexually assaulted. Despite the indisputable evidence, these atrocities have received little recognition from human rights groups and international organizations. Many leading figures in politics, academia, and media have even attempted to minimize or deny the sexual violence of October 7.

In “Screams Before Silence,” Sheryl Sandberg interviews returned hostages, first responders, medical and forensic experts, and survivors of the Hamas massacres.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with eyewitnesses who will share their experiences, observations, and post-October 7 reflections.
