Three generations of the Gad family physically survived the devastating assault by Hamas on October 7th. This intimate documentation begins just two days after their rescue from the massacre, capturing the family’s painful struggle with shock, trauma, and grief at both personal and communal levels. Every family member copes differently with the aftermath. Their closest friends were either murdered or abducted, their homes lost, yet they continue to fight for the survival of Be’eri’s community while struggling to avoid despair. Despite their fears and anguish, a sliver of hope glimmers in the eyes of each member, from grandparents to grandchildren. As they muster the will to restore the once lush, green Kibbutz they fled from under fire, one question remains: Will they ever return to Be’eri?

Gaining Ground: The Fight for Black Land
Gaining Ground: The Fight for Black Land
In just a few decades after the end of enslavement, Black Americans were able to amass millions of acres of farmland. Today approximately 90% of that land is no longer in Black hands. Various factors have been employed to take Black land, including violence, eminent domain and government discrimination. But it is a little-known issue — heirs’ property — that has had a devastating effect on Black land ownership. Gaining Ground: The Fight for Black Land is a timely and stirring documentary from Emmy-nominated producer/director Eternal Polk and Al Roker Entertainment that examines the causes, effects what is being done to fight the exploitation of these issues, and how landowners are reclaiming their agricultural legacy and creating paths to generational wealth.
