    While the storytelling on One Day In October can be a bit uneven, the true stories of October 7 survivors, combined with real audio and video, kept us riveted to the relatively-short episodes.

    As the world watches and waits to see if peace can be achieved, one thing is clear: “Red Alert” and “One Day in October” are stories that vividly show the price without it.

    Poignant and harrowing, it’s an act of memory, confrontation, and healing, as well as a challenge to the world to reckon with, and remember, an unfathomable atrocity.
