About DocuNation
DocuNation is an independent documentary initiative that brings powerful Israeli films to audiences around the world, creating space for connection, reflection, and real human conversations.
Our program is open to all, wherever you are, and fosters a unique global community around stories that matter. Each screening is accompanied by a live conversation with the filmmaker, deepening the experience and creating space for meaningful dialogue.
In 2026, we’re proud to expand this experience through a special partnership with The Times of Israel, offering select time-limited screenings and conversations to their subscriber community.
From Post-Trauma to Healing
Join us for a powerful day of film, conversation, education, and community as we explore the journey from trauma toward healing, resilience, and hope.
Produced in partnership with DocuNation, this unique event will bring together filmmakers, mental health professionals, survivors, educators, community leaders, and advocates for a series of thought-provoking screenings, keynote presentations, panel discussions, and interactive workshops.
Throughout the day, attendees will have the opportunity to engage with diverse perspectives on trauma and recovery, learn practical tools for resilience, and participate in meaningful conversations about healing on both individual and collective levels.
Taking place just days after the anniversary of October 7, the event will also include opportunities for remembrance and reflection, honouring those affected while highlighting the strength and perseverance of survivors and communities moving forward.
Whether you are a mental health professional, educator, caregiver, community member, or simply someone seeking connection and understanding, this event offers a space to learn, reflect, and be inspired.
Together, we remember. Together, we heal.
