Dror, the visionary mind behind SuperNova — his gripping new documentary capturing the 24 hours following the October 7 Hamas terror attack at the Nova music festival — offers an unfiltered, insider perspective few can share.

Born in Tel Aviv to Iraqi Jewish refugees, Dror’s work confronts both Western and Middle Eastern narratives head-on, shining a light on the trauma of Jewish exile, the fight for cultural survival, and the fragile line between freedom and extremism.
