'Where are they in your film?': Oct. 7 survivor who lost husband, son confronts 'NAZA' directors
"You’re talking about collateral damage? My husband and my son were murdered by Hamas. Where does this appear in your film?” Sabine Taasa asked Abraham and Szor.
During a screening of the film NAZA in Delft, Netherlands, Sabine Taasa faced an emotional confrontation. Her husband Gil and son Or were killed during the October 7 Hamas massacre. At the screening, Taasa, accompanied by members of the Israeli organization Ad Kan, confronted directors Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor about the portrayal of the war in the film.
"Where does this appear in your film?" Taasa demanded, her voice filled with anger and pain. The audience's response was hostile, with several shouting "We don't care" and "Shame on you." Dutch politician Geert Wilders condemned the audience's behavior, accusing them of callousness and lack of empathy for Taasa's suffering. Wilders also stated that the film's treatment of the October 7 massacre and Hamas's actions drew criticism in Israel.
The protest highlighted the tension between the film's portrayal of the conflict and the personal stories of its subjects.
