From Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, two of the four directors behind the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land, comes NAZA: a powerful investigation into the war in Gaza and the mechanisms behind the mass killing of Palestinian civilians. Filmed at night on the rooftops of Tel Aviv, Abraham and Szor examine the systems and decision-making processes behind Israel’s bombardment of Gaza. From their position as Israelis, they confront a deeply unsettling and fundamental question: how can a society allow the dehumanisation of another group of people – and what mechanisms make this possible?
The film builds on investigative reporting by The Guardian, +972 Magazine and Local Call. But NAZA goes beyond the revelations of journalism alone. The camera also turns towards what remains unspoken: the silences, the looking away, and the distance between individual responsibility and the larger system of which people are a part.
Following No Other Land, in which Abraham and Szor, together with Palestinian filmmakers Basel Adra and Hamdan Ballal, documented the displacement and destruction of Palestinian communities in the West Bank, they now turn their gaze towards their own Israeli society. NAZA is a confronting film about war and dehumanisation, but above all about responsibility – and the urgent need to break the silence.
