FOLLOWING ITS BREAKOUT VIEWERSHIP, PARAMOUNT+ AND MTV DOCUMENTARY FILMS SET WORLDWIDE EXPANSION FOR "THE CHILDREN OF OCTOBER 7"

The Extraordinary Account by Israeli Children Featuring Social Media Activist Montana Tucker will Premiere Globally on Monday, June 2

Directed by Asaf Becker and Produced by Kastina Communications, the Film is Set to Launch in Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Latin America, Switzerland and the United Kingdom

May 27, 2025 - Following its breakout success, Paramount+ and MTV Documentary Films today announced the global expansion of THE CHILDREN OF OCTOBER 7 which is set to debut across every Paramount+ territory on Monday, June 2, coinciding with the Jewish holiday of Shavuot.

The documentary, which features social media activist Montana Tucker, is directed by Asaf Becker and produced by Kastina Communications. It will now be available in Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Latin America, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

On October 7, 2023, Israeli children were among the most vulnerable victims of the Hamas attacks. Of the estimated 1,200 Israelis murdered, 37 were children. Of those who survived, over 100 children lost one parent, over 20 lost both parents and more than 35 were kidnapped to Gaza. Hundreds of children were injured, and thousands were displaced from their homes.

THE CHILDREN OF OCTOBER 7 features deeply sensitive conversations between Tucker and these children who bravely share their experiences of trauma and survival as they continue to process the unthinkable - being held captive, witnessing the deaths of their parents and enduring violent invasions of their homes. Alongside Tucker's support, the children present a poignant and heartfelt depiction of their terrifying experiences.

Shari Redstone, Chair of Paramount Global, said, "We have long been committed to sharing content that informs and educates. This documentary is a clear example in highlighting the terror that occurred on October 7 and the aftermath for thousands of children who will forever suffer from the impact of that day. Montana Tucker is doing extraordinary work, and we're proud to distribute the film around the world on Paramount+."

"THE CHILDREN OF OCTOBER 7 is one of the most important projects I've ever been part of. As the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, hearing these children share the horrors they endured - losing their families, their homes, and their innocence in a single morning - felt hauntingly familiar. I'm grateful they trusted me with their stories and that they have this platform to share their truth. Thanks to Paramount+ and MTV, the world will bear witness," said Montana Tucker.

THE CHILDREN OF OCTOBER 7 was produced by Eytan Schwartz, Meny Aviram, Mor Tregger, Zameret Alexaneroni, Jonathan Barsade and Rotem Alima. The film was directed by Asaf Becker, with cinematography by Sasha Gavrikov and editing by Yotam Katzor.

With almost 14 million combined followers across her social media platforms, award-winning actress, singer, dancer, philanthropist, and social media activist Montana Tucker empowers from every angle. Featured in the documentary THE CHILDREN OF OCTOBER 7, now streaming on Paramount+, Tucker also garnered acclaim for her educational docuseries How To: Never Forget, in which she traveled to Poland and Auschwitz with her mother, Michelle, to learn about her grandparents' experiences during the Holocaust. Tucker has become a household name in the Jewish community and beyond through her powerful social media videos and her numerous speaking engagements worldwide, which help to raise awareness about antisemitism and bring communities together. She's been honored by The National Holocaust Museum, Artists 4 Israel, Auschwitz Jewish Foundation, The Mayor of New York, The City of Beverly Hills and many others. Among her many hosting and emceeing duties, Tucker hosted ADL's Never Is Now, the world's largest summit on antisemitism and headlined the March for Israel Rally in Washington, D.C., among many others. Tucker can be found on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube @montanatucker.

The film is currently streaming in the U.S. on Paramount+.
