‘NAZA’ documentary draws sold-out crowd – and protests – at US premiere

The sold-out screening drew cheers inside and a pro-Israel protest outside as critics said the film omits Oct. 7 context.

  • On Saturday, the Israeli documentary NAZA held its sold-out North American premiere at the New York Film Festival, drawing demonstrators to Lincoln Center.
  • Co-Directed by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, the documentary investigates the Gaza war, featuring testimony from 24 anonymous military personnel regarding AI-assisted strikes and civilian casualties.
  • Organized by the Israeli-American Council, a 50-person protest argued the film makes 'serious allegations about the IDF' while ignoring the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack context.
  • Despite severe backlash, including Israeli government threats to revoke their citizenship, Abraham maintained that screening NAZA is essential because the U.S. funds Israeli military actions.
  • Following a special jury prize at the Venice Film Festival, producers plan theatrical releases across 55 territories before a free global debut on The Guardian's website.
