The Israeli documentary film "NAZA" will be available for free online viewing starting in late November, according to its director, Yoval Abraham. The film, which documents the testimonies of 24 Israeli military and intelligence personnel, has generated significant interest since its premiere. The decision to make the film available online for free was made to allow as many viewers as possible to see it.
The film "NAZA" explores the targeting mechanisms used during the war on the Gaza Strip, including the use of artificial intelligence systems to determine targets and estimate the number of civilians who may be killed in airstrikes. The film is based on a three-year investigation and features testimonies from military personnel who spoke on camera with their identities concealed.
The title "NAZA" is an acronym for a military term used to refer to the expected number of civilians to be killed in an airstrike. The film's creators, Yoval Abraham and Rachel Zore, chose this title to highlight the human cost of military actions. The film has already sparked controversy in Israel, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatening to withdraw the citizenship of its creators.
The film "NAZA" premiered at the Venice Film Festival on September 10, where it won a special jury prize. It will be released in 56 markets around the world starting on September 28, before becoming available online for free. The film's online release will be hosted on the website of The Guardian, a British newspaper.
The creators of "NAZA" conducted a three-year investigation into the Israeli military's actions in Gaza. The film is based on a series of articles published in The Guardian and other media outlets. The investigation included interviews with 24 military and intelligence personnel who shared their experiences and insights into the military's targeting mechanisms.
The release of "NAZA" has sparked a heated debate in Israel about the military's actions in Gaza. The film's creators have faced criticism and backlash, with some accusing them of treason. However, the film has also been praised for its bravery and for shedding light on a critical issue.
The online release of "NAZA" in November will provide an opportunity for a wider audience to engage with the film and its themes. The film's creators hope that it will contribute to a more informed discussion about the Israeli military's actions in Gaza and the human cost of conflict.
