Israel’s Kan public broadcaster will launch “Kan, 7.10.360,” its flagship, post-October 7 project in English, as the country approaches the one-year mark of the Hamas terrorist attack.
The digital project is a virtual museum offering a journey between all the locations of the October 7 massacre, from the Gaza-border communities and IDF bases to highway intersections and the massive music rave where Hamas terrorists attacked, killing some 1,200 people and kidnapping 251 amid acts of brutality and sexual violence.
The Hebrew version of the Kan digital museum was launched on Israel’s Memorial Day.
Now “Kan 7.10.360” is also available in English, to better share the story of the Hamas massacre with the world, the broadcaster said. Kan plans on translating the digital project into additional languages.
The virtual journey conducted with 360-degree cameras is augmented by maps, video, and audio documents collected by the Israel Broadcasting Corporation since October 7.
The museum is expanded daily with new and updated stories of the past 11 months, adding accounts of battles and massacres, heroism and hope.
Other series and documentaries being launched for the one-year mark include Kan’s flagship documentary project, “The Day That Never Ended,” a five-episode journalistic view of the events of October 7.
The documentary series includes more than 100 interviewees reviewing what happened on that day in dozens of locations, including kibbutz communities, cities, IDF bases, open fields and roads, and the music festival invaded by Hamas terrorists.
The Kan film “Rachel from Ofakim,” shares the story of Rachel Edry, who, with her husband David, were held inside their home on October 7 by a band of terrorists and survived the event with charisma and courage.
A documentary film, “The Battle for the Sderot Police,” shows the October 7 battle for the Sderot police station, which became one of the symbols of resistance and destruction.
For all Kan series, go to the Kan website or Kan Box, the Kan application.
