About this Event
In a real-life story, the feature documentary The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue follows retired Israeli general Noam Tibon, who on October 7, 2023, received a desperate text from his son: terrorists had stormed his home, and he, his wife, and their two young daughters feared for their lives. With no time to spare, Noam and his wife, Gali, embarked on a ten-hour mission across a country under siege to save their family.
Relying only on his instincts and military training, Noam navigated ambushes, roadblocks, and a collapsing security system in a relentless race against time. Directed by acclaimed Canadian filmmaker Barry Avrich, the film retraces every step of that day, blending intimate firsthand testimony with the raw urgency of a survival thriller. Set against the backdrop of one of Israel’s darkest days, The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue is both a gripping cinematic retelling of an extraordinary rescue and an unflinching look at the failures and resilience revealed on October 7. At its core, it is a profoundly human story about courage, family, and the power of love in the face of unimaginable terror.
What would you do if your family was seconds away from being exterminated? This documentary is not a political statement but a no-holds-barred, family-driven action film that will have audiences on the edge of their seats.
Noam Tibon is a born storyteller in an action hero kind of way, and this film seamlessly weaves his experience and heroic journey as we retrace his mission to save his family.
As we travel the roads he took to get to them, we juxtapose actual Hamas invasion footage with new and raw storytelling from Noam and his family.
We experience his provocative story from the wars that trained him to be ready for this unspeakable day of horror. This film is riveting: part James Bond, Rambo, and Liam Neeson, this is the most daring and thrilling rescue story ever told.
