NAZA, the anti-Israel documentary produced by The Guardian, will begin its theatrical distribution in cinemas worldwide on September 28. A theatrical release in partnership with MK2 Films is planned for 55 countries, including Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Canada, Hong Kong, Brazil, Turkey, Thailand, France, Spain, Germany, Central America and the Middle East. At the same time, the filmmakers have invited Israeli cinemas to screen the film free of charge.
After the theatrical run around the world, the film will be available for free viewing on The Guardian’s website, “as part of the news organization’s commitment to distributing independent journalism,” the news site stated. One of the film’s producers, who also serves as an investigative reporter at The Guardian, claimed that “NAZA is based on rigorous investigative journalism published over the past three years. A powerful cinematic work that will soon be available on screens, large and small, around the world.”
In a post on his X account, one of the film’s creators, Yuval Abraham, wrote that the two offered to screen the film in Israel as well—at no cost: “Because of the interest and public importance, Rachel and I decided together with The Guardian that the film NAZA will be accessible online for free, with no time limit, so that anyone can watch it and the soldiers’ testimonies. This will happen in a few weeks, in November, the earliest date we could set. Until then, we approached Israeli cinemas and offered them the film at no cost, in the hope that it will be screened in Israel now, alongside its distribution in cinemas around the world. Showing it will be a courageous decision in the face of great violence aimed at hiding it.”
בגלל העניין והחשיבות הציבורית אני ורחלי החלטנו ביחד עם הגרדיאן שהסרט נז״א יהיה נגיש באינטרנט בחינם, ללא הגבלת זמן, כדי שכל אדם יוכל לצפות בו ובעדויות החיילים. זה יקרה בעוד כמה שבועות, בנובמבר, במועד הכי מוקדם שהצלחנו לקבוע. עד אז פנינו לבתי קולנוע בישראל והצענו להם את הסרט ללא…

He went on to address the public uproar surrounding the film and calls to revoke their citizenship for treason: “Journalism is not treason. Criticism is not treason. It is the duty of every citizen whose government commits crimes to know, and of every soldier who witnessed them to tell. I have been writing about the military’s fire policy in Gaza in Hebrew for three years. The investigations were ignored in Israel. Now, for the first time, something has cracked in the screen of indifference. One thing is certain: the threats won’t help. They don’t deter us. Rachel and I will return to Israel.”
