Testigos del Terror offers a powerful and deeply human look into the extraordinary experiences of Latino immigrants in Israel—men and women who helped establish agricultural communal villages, known as kibbutzim, near the Gaza border and who became one of the largest immigrant groups affected by the Hamas terror attacks of October 7.


Through an unflinching lens, this four-part docuseries captures the stories of horror, heroism, and survival that emerged from that tragic day. Each episode reveals a different chapter of this collective experience: the history of Latino migration to Israel; a Spanish-language recounting of the Nova music festival massacre; the harrowing testimonies of hostages released in the November 2023 deal; and the struggle of those who fought for their loved ones who remained in captivity.


By weaving together raw footage from October 7 with original firsthand testimonies, Testigos del Terror preserves these voices and ensures that their stories—told in their native tongue—continue to resonate across generations and borders.
