After its theatrical debut, the acclaimed documentary "NAZA" will be made available for free streaming on The Guardian's website. "NAZA," a collaboration between The Guardian and production company mk2, is an Israeli-Gaza film created by Oscar-winning filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor. It features 24 anonymous Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) sources recounting the killing of Palestinian civilians.
The film will debut in North America at the New York Film Festival before opening at the IFC Center in New York City, followed by screenings in Los Angeles and other U.S. cities. "NAZA" will also receive theatrical releases in 55 territories worldwide, including the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Canada, Hong Kong, Brazil, Turkey, Thailand, France, Spain, Germany, and various Middle Eastern nations.
The Guardian's Harry Davies, a producer of the film, emphasized that "NAZA" is deeply rooted in journalistic integrity, yet it is also a compelling cinematic experience. Despite controversy surrounding the film, with Israel criticizing its claims and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatening to revoke the citizenship of the directors, "NAZA" aims to provoke thought about the dehumanization of civilians and the responsibility of nations in such conflicts.
