Federation Studios and Ananey Studios, Paramount’s Tel Aviv-based company, are joining forces to produce “Forever Shattered” (working title), an investigative documentary on the sexual crimes committed by Hamas during its Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
“Forever Shattered” is directed by Benoît Bringer, a filmmaker and investigative journalist who previously helmed docs including “The Rise of Wagner,” “The Caviar Connection” and “Panama Papers: The Hold-Up of the Century.”
This new documentary will look at how Hamas has used rape and sexual terror as weapons of war, inflicting physical, emotional and psychological trauma on women, children and men. The terrorist group’s attack on Israel on Oct. 7 resulted in approximately 1,200 deaths and 250 hostages. During and after the attack, countless cases of sexual violence, particularly against women and girls, were reported and documented at the Supernova Music Festival, as well as the kibbutzims and villages. The documentary will delve into these events though research and investigation,...

A creeping black spot on a darkening globe suffers some degree of illumination — not voluntarily, of course — in “The Rise of Wagner.” Benoit Bringer’s documentary about the Russian private army of mercenaries relies on a mix of news reports, human rights experts and sometimes anonymous witnesses to expose Wagner Group’s shadowy involvement in various conflicts over the last decade. It’s a damning if necessarily rather fragmented view, since the organization remains cloaked in secrecy, its own government continuing to deny affiliation. Offering global political insights as well as lurid true-crime-type content, this Hot Docs premiere is well-suited to broadcast slots for serious-minded nonfiction.
The Kremlin’s smokescreen on this subject — several times we see Putin blandly batting away related press questions, though he’s photographed with top Wagner personnel often enough — simply extends the company’s internal policies from the start. Until just a few months ago,...

Mediawan Rights, the sales arm of European media group Mediawan, is ramping up its documentary slate with the addition of two new feature films, Variety has learned.
Directed by Ado Hasanovic, “My Father’s Diaries” is an intimate portrait of the Bosnian War that uses 8mm footage shot by the director’s family, as well as his father’s written account of the period from the start of the war through the infamous “death march” that saw some 15,000 Bosniaks attempt to trek more than 60 miles to escape Serbian forces.
Produced by Italian powerhouse Palomar (“The Name of the Rose”), pic is the story of a son who grew up in the shadow of war and seeks answers to his trauma through the films and writings his father left behind. Acting as co-producer, Mediawan Rights is looking for presales to round out the financing.

Twelve people are now confirmed dead in a midday Wednesday gunfire attack upon a satirical weekly newspaper in central Paris. The publication, Charlie Hebdo, has been the subject of repeated threats for its caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed, among other controversial sketches. Benoit Bringer, an Agence Premiere Ligne journalist who witnessed the attack, told the iTele network he saw several masked men armed with machine guns. French President Francois Hollande immediately went to the scene and called the incident "barbaric" and "a terrorist attack" "Eleven people have been killed. Four are in an extremely critical condition," Hollande said upon his arrival.
