- Overview
- Dutch filmmaker Willy Lindwer and Russian author David Gurevich document the aftermath of the June 1, 2001 suicide bombing of Tel Aviv's Dolphinarium Disco, which killed 21 and wounded 105, many of them teenagers and many recent immigrants from post-Soviet Union states. The bulk of the film consists of the interviews with survivors and the victims' parents, all shot around the Tel Aviv area, including the location outside the Dolphinarium proper. It also makes extensive use of the footage of the night of the disaster and the home videos left behind by the victims.
