NAZA trailer on civilian massacres in Gaza released in Italy
The trailer for NAZA, a documentary about Israel’s civilian massacres in Gaza, has been released in Italy. The film, which received the Special Jury Prize at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival, is planned to become available online for free after its theatrical screenings.
The trailer for NAZA, a documentary about Israel’s civilian massacres in Gaza, has been released in Italy. The trailer was posted on the YouTube channel of The Guardian, one of the film’s co-producers.
The film received the Special Jury Prize at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival. Tamin al-Hitan, a spokesperson for the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, also condemned hate speech and incitement to violence directed at the filmmakers.
Trailer features testimonies from Israeli soldiers
At the beginning of the trailer, an Israeli soldier interviewed for the documentary explains the meaning of the word “NAZA.” Drawing a building that was to be bombed, the soldier says, “This is the building I had to bomb. The NAZA of this attack was four,” defining the term as the number of civilians expected to die as a result of an attack.
The documentary’s trailer features interviews with 24 Israeli soldiers who are identified as having participated in mass killings of Palestinians in Gaza. One of the unnamed soldiers says that after October 7, 2023, the claim that “there is not a single innocent person in Gaza” was repeatedly echoed.
Another soldier says, “Whatever we do, they deserve it.” The trailer also includes the assessment that Gaza had been turned into a “target factory” and an account claiming that an attack permitted the killing of 500 people for a single target.
When reminded that 500 people was equivalent to the population of an Israeli village, the soldier confirms the figure. The same soldier says there are things he can talk about but that he cannot discuss certain subjects.
Critics praise the film
The trailer also features reviews of NAZA from various publications. The Hollywood Reporter calls the film “a courageous and impossible-to-ignore testimony.” Le Monde writes that the film “hits like a machine,” while Indiewire describes it as a film capable of deeply affecting viewers.
New York Magazine calls NAZA “one of the most important films of our time.” Sight and Sound describes the film as powerful, Time Out as exemplary, the Financial Times as extraordinary, El Mundo as magnificent, Screen Daily as unsettling and Next Best Picture as impossible to ignore.
It will be available to watch online for free
Yuval Abraham, one of the documentary’s directors, announced that they had decided to make the film available to watch online for free after its theatrical screenings conclude. Abraham said the decision was made together with the other director, Rachel Szor, and The Guardian, one of the production partners.
