NAZA trailer takes to Tel Aviv rooftops for unprecedented view of mass killing

The latest from half of No Other Land's Oscar-winning filmmaking team premieres at the New York Film Festival on September 30

NAZA trailer takes to Tel Aviv rooftops for unprecedented view of mass killing

Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor have unveiled a groundbreaking new documentary called NAZA, capturing unprecedented aerial footage of Tel Aviv's rooftops to expose the grim realities of Israel’s ongoing Gaza genocide. Following a near-death experience from their previous film, No Other Land, which led to the kidnapping of its four-person team by Israeli soldiers, Abraham and Szor are determined to shed light on the systemic dehumanization of Palestinian civilians.

The filmmakers, armed with a camera from the heights of Tel Aviv's rooftops under the cover of night, delve into the minds of Israeli military and intelligence whistleblowers, learning about the seemingly limitless casualty rate the IDF accepts in its bombardments. NAZA seeks to uncover the inner workings of this dehumanizing system, questioning the very foundations of how one group allows the total dehumanization of another.

Many of the shocking revelations in NAZA were published almost immediately following the October 7th attacks by The Guardian, in collaboration with +972 Magazine and Local Call. The film aims to explore the unsaid words and the deafening silence surrounding this crisis, urging audiences to actively break this silence. NAZA is set to premiere at the New York Film Festival on September 30, followed by screenings in Los Angeles and other cities on October 9.

After its theatrical run, The Guardian announced it will make the film freely available for streaming on its website.
