\n\tEXCLUSIVE: Barry Avrich\u2019s feature documentary The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue<\/a> about retired Israeli General Noam Tibon\u2019s rescue of his family at a Gaza raided kibbutz, will be released on Oct. 3 in the U.S. and Canada on north of 125 prints in 20 markets. <\/p>\n

\n\tForston Consulting is handling distribution in the U.S. with Cineplex Pictures the release in Canada. The Road Between Us will play in New York, LA, Toronto<\/a>, San Francisco, Toronto, Chicago, Vancouver, Montreal and West Palm Beach. The pic\u2019s release coincides with the two-year mark of the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks.<\/p>\n

\n\tToday\u2019s news comes in the wake of the docu\u2019s world premiere at Roy Thomson Hall last night at the 50th Toronto International Film Festival<\/a>, an evening, that we\u2019re told was met with protests outside and a lot of emotion inside the 2,600 sold out venue. Deadline first told you how TIFF<\/a> initially uninvited the documentary over submission errors, before having a change of heart and granting the pic a big premiere. Read our interview with Avrich here. <\/a><\/p>\n

\n\tThe Globe and Mail reports<\/a> that the police presence outnumbered protesters which were divided with Palestinian demonstrators on the east side of Simcoe Street and those holding Israeli and Canadian flags on the west side. Security, per the Globe and Mail was \u201catypically rigorous, with the slow pace of inspections ensuring that the film started 15 minutes late.\u201d Deadline experienced the fierce security at Roy Thomson Hall on Sunday night before the Nuremberg world premiere when the venue was rejecting average-sized backpacks from entering the venue unlike previous years. <\/p>\n

\n\tAlso in attendance last night were the docu\u2019s producer Mark Selby, and pic\u2019s subjects Noam Tibon and Gali Mir-Tibon. <\/p>\n

\n\tAvrich was intrigued to make a movie about General Tibon given his Taken-like story, by which he took matters into his own hands when he learned that his son and daughter-in-law, Amir and Miri, and their two children were hiding in the safe room after Hamas forces attacked kibbutz Nahal Oz near the northern Gaza Strip on the morning of Oct. 7.\u00a0But Tibon saved more than his family on his journey to Nahal Oz, rescuing and tending to soldiers, some who joined him on his mission, as well as survivors from the music festival massacre. <\/p>\n

\n\tAvrich says: \u201cWhen I first heard Noam\u2019s story, I knew it was not just a story of one man\u2019s courage, but of family, resilience, and the choices we make in the face of terror. This film retraces an extraordinary day but also reflects the broader human capacity for bravery and love in the darkest of moments. I am honored to share this story with audiences across North America and grateful to our partners who believed in its importance from the very beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe theatrical release is also being supported by The Impact Series, a social-issue\u2013focused organization committed to using film as a catalyst for awareness and action.<\/p>\n
