NAZA, Israeli film on Gaza, to stream for free after theatrical run

The documentary "NAZA," co-directed by Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, will be available to stream for free online in November after its international theatrical run. The film, which accuses Israel of using AI for mass civilian killings in Gaza, is based on a nearly three-year investigation and testimony from concealed Israeli military and intelligence sources. Abraham stated the film aims to spark public discussion about the Israeli government's actions in Gaza, including the killing of over 73,000 people, predominantly civilians. The documentary, meaning "collateral damage" in Hebrew, will premiere in the United States at the New York Film Festival and is also set to show in the UK, France, Germany, and Canada. The Guardian newspaper, a co-producer, will host the online stream.

The acclaimed documentary "NAZA," produced by The Guardian and directed by Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, will receive a global theatrical release in 56 territories, followed by a free streaming on theguardian.com. The film, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival to a record-breaking standing ovation and won the special jury prize, examines the systems behind Israel's killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza, using a military acronym for expected civilian casualties. "NAZA" features interviews with anonymous Israeli intelligence and military members and builds on journalism from The Guardian, +972 Magazine, and Local Call. Despite critical acclaim and international support, the film's directors have faced threats from Israeli officials, including calls to revoke their citizenship.
