Colleyville is a critically acclaimed documentary that delves into the heart-pounding 11-hour hostage crisis that rocked the quiet Texas town of Colleyville Texas. On a seemingly ordinary Saturday morning, a terrorist stormed Congregation Beth Israel during a live-streamed service, taking a group of innocent worshippers hostage. Led by the courageous Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker, the hostages endured a harrowing ordeal that captured the world's attention.
