'NAZA', the documentary about the killings in Gaza, by Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szo, will be available to watch for free after its global release, reported Variety. The documentary won a special jury prize at the recently concluded Venice Film Festival.
According to Variety, the documentary will be made visible to global audiences for free via the website of British newspaper The Guardian after its release in theatres worldwide on September 28, following its world premiere at Venice. It will be available to watch for free in late November. "NAZA shows in detail the systems behind Israels calculated mass killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza, according to its official synopsis. The documentary was shot in secrecy at night on the rooftops of Tel Aviv and features revelatory interviews with 24 Israeli military intelligence officers and soldiers. 'NAZA,' a term that appears throughout the documentary, is an acronym for collateral damage used by Israeli intelligence to indicate the number of civilians it expects will be killed in an airstrike. 'NAZA' director Yuval Abraham also announced the documentary's free worldwide streaming on his X handle, saying the decision was prompted by the "interest and public importance" of the documentary. He wrote, "Due to the interest and public importance, I and Rachel decided together with The Guardian that the film NZA would be accessible online for free, without any time limit, so that every person can watch it and the soldiers' testimonies. This will happen in a few weeks, in November, at the earliest date we managed to set. Until then, we approached cinemas in Israel and offered them the film at no cost, in the hope that it will be screened in the country already now, in parallel to its distribution in cinemas around the world. Its screening will be a brave decision in the face of great violence aimed at concealing it. I know there is enormous demand to watch the film, and I hope that in this way, everyone will soon be able to see it: whether in cinemas or online in a few weeks." https://x.com/yuval_abraham/status/2103061893913162054 Abraham and Szor were two of the four directors of 'No Other Land,' which won the 2025 Best Documentary Oscar and depicts the Israeli governments efforts to force Palestinians from their homes in the southern West Bank.
