This film provides a direct look into the heartfelt drive and dedication of Dede Bandaid and Nitzan Mintz, Israeli street artists who were in New York City for a 3-month art residency program on October 7th, 2023. Devastated by the news of the kidnapped victims, and wanting to make a difference halfway around the world, they stopped their artistic projects to focus 100% of their time on developing a way to bring profound awareness of the kidnapped hostages.

Dede Bandaid and Nitzan Mintz worked on designing posters that would help raise awareness for each of the hostages that were taken. These posters with the headline “Kidnapped,” were hung up around New York City, and shared digitally around the world which resulted in global support to bring these hostages home.

This film, ”KIdnapped from Israel" will highlight the importance of never giving up no matter what obstacles you may face, and show how just a few people can make a difference in the ongoing struggle the Jewish people have had to endure.

“Kidnapped from Israel” is a much-needed follow-up film from “Culture Fix CLE,” Healing our community through the Arts. It will show the growth and insight of two Israeli artists once again working towards a better world through Art.
