Summary
Director Nadav Lapid’s film “Yes” critiques Israel’s indifference to Gaza’s suffering, portraying a musician tasked with rewriting the national anthem into a propaganda piece. Premiering at Cannes, the film reflects on the aftermath of the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack and highlights a troubling societal consensus on the value of lives in the conflict. Despite facing challenges in production and a lack of Israeli distribution, Lapid hopes the film will provoke necessary societal reflection.
