SYNOPSIS:
On October 7th at 6:29 a.m. Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel. 15 militants came to the town of Ofakim and killed 27 civilians and 5 police officers. In this hybrid film, filmmaker Zohar Wagner (”Savoy”) tells the story of Rachel Edri, kept hostage in her home, along with her husband David. Using reenactments of the events in the house, which has been recreated as an exact replica, and with Rachel acting as “director” of her own scenes, Cookies for Life shows how Rachel used her resourcefulness, cunning, sense of humor and improvisation skills to survive the 20 hour attack.
