New York / Los Angeles / Boston — August 21, 2025 – The acclaimed documentary TORN: The Israel-Palestine Poster War on NYC Streets (https://www.torn-film.com/), directed and produced by award-winning filmmaker Nim Shapira, will open in select theaters in New York and Los Angeles on Friday, September 5, 2025.
In a major boost to the release, The Gathr Companies (GATHR®) has joined forces with Hemdale Films , a releasing affiliate of Hannover House, Inc. (OTC: HHSE), to expand TORN nationwide, utilizing its trailblazing Direct To Audience℠ (DTA) technology platform . GATHR, whose recent titles include the Oscar-winning No Other Land, the acclaimed labor documentary Union, and the current box office darling The Last Class, will also deploy its Theatrical On Demand® platform to power the film’s expansion across the United States.The partnership ensures TORN’ s conversations reach far beyond New York and Los Angeles, into arthouses, campuses, and communities nationwide.
GATHR’s involvement follows the film’s critically acclaimed pre-release momentum, with over 70 advance screenings across the U.S. and Canada — from major cities including New York, Boston, Chicago, Toronto, and San Francisco to universities, interfaith forums, and cultural institutions.
“ TORN is a film about consequences – the unintended, the human, the deeply personal,” said director Nim Shapira. “My hope is that audiences will see their own reflections in the people on screen and perhaps discover a renewed capacity for empathy, even in the most divisive of conflicts.”
“This film is a microcosm of unintended consequences and required viewing for people interested in conflict resolution,” said Scott Glosserman, CEO of The Gathr Companies. “Documentaries, especially, are empathy-building machines, and TORN is one of the most urgent examples I’ve ever seen. This is a film that demands to be seen, discussed, and felt.”
Eric Parkinson, CEO of Hemdale Films — the legendary banner behind Platoon, The Last Emperor, and The Terminator — added: “Hemdale has always been defined by bold, conversation-starting cinema. TORN continues that tradition, and with GATHR’s model it can reach audiences on a scale that reflects the urgency of its message. We are honored to release 'Torn' under the newly resurrected Hemdale releasing brand, as a major division of Hannover House.”
Set in the aftermath of October 7, TORN documents how a grassroots poster campaign to raise awareness for the 251 hostages taken by Hamas spiraled into a symbolic war on New York streets. Through the voices of ten New Yorkers — including hostage family members, artists, students, activists, a free speech expert, and a rabbi — the film reveals how a distant conflict ruptured civic life at home.
