Abramorama Takes North America Rights, Sets Release For John David Coles Doc ‘The Choice’

Abramorama has acquired North American theatrical rights to John David Coles’ documentary *The Choice*, with a New York opening set for 15 January followed by a national release. The film connects the lives of three women affected by war, captivity and loss, and explores how people can choose how to live after trauma.

It follows the legacy of psychologist and Holocaust survivor Edith “Edie” Eger, who died aged 98 last May, alongside Iris Haim, whose son was taken hostage during the 7 October attacks, and Sapir Cohen, who spent 55 days as a hostage in Gaza. The documentary combines archival footage, interviews, recordings and personal writings; it won the 2026 Hamptons International Film Festival’s Brizzolara Family Foundation Award for Films of Conflict & Resolution and is eligible for the Academy Award for Best Feature Documentary.
