TORN explores the controversy surrounding the "KIDNAPPED" poster campaign--a grassroots effort to raise awareness about hostages taken by Hamas on October 7. These posters quickly became polarizing symbols, sparking street-level clashes between pro-Israel and pro-Palestine activists across New York City. The film unpacks the motivations of those who put up and tore down the posters, illuminating the deeper ideological battles unfolding thousands of miles from the actual conflict.
