The Guardian plans on giving NAZA away for free after theatrical release

Following the theatrical release of their latest documentary, NAZA, directed by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, The Guardian has announced plans to make the film available for free to the public after its initial screening period. The Guardian produced and is distributing the film, which explores the Israeli military's conduct during conflicts and the impact on civilian populations.

NAZA will open in over 50 countries around the world before being made freely available for streaming on theguardian.com. This move comes after the film's positive reception at the Venice Film Festival, where it was awarded the special jury prize and received a 25-minute standing ovation. The film's unique approach to addressing sensitive issues has garnered significant attention and sparked important conversations.

The Guardian's decision to provide NAZA for free, in addition to its theatrical run, demonstrates their commitment to promoting important social and political topics. The documentary delves into the Israeli intelligence and military's perspectives, revealing the extent to which they allow civilian casualties and the casualties they expect in each airstrike. One source even claims that troops were given approval to kill up to 500 people in order to eliminate a single Hamas member.

The film's distribution plan includes screenings in various countries such as the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Canada, Hong Kong, Brazil, Turkey, Thailand, France, Spain, Germany, Central America, and the Middle East. This wide-reaching release aims to bring attention to the issues discussed in NAZA and encourage dialogue on the consequences of military actions on civilian populations.
