“Their Eyes Were Dry” An Evening of Reflection and Song A Special One Night Only Event Monday May 9th May 9, 2011

Their Eyes Were Dry is a compelling and powerful documentary that has made its mission to bring light to an important event that took place on May 15th, 1974. Three Palestinian terrorists, disguised as Israeli soldiers, infiltrated and stormed into an Israeli elementary school in Ma’alot where teachers and students were spending the night.

All the teachers escaped and abandoned the children, who were then left helpless and forced to face the terrorists on their own. The terrorist’s main objective was to use these student hostages in order to demand the release of imprisoned terrorists held by the State of Israel. Our film documents the birth of terrorism against children but more importantly celebrates the lives of these heroic children.

Written, produced, directed and edited by Brandon Assanti.
