Since it premiered in Venice, where it earned a record-breaking near-25-minute stand ovation, “NAZA” has emerged one of the most talked-about documentaries of the year.

The bombshell film, from Israeli “No Other Land” directors Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, exposes what it asserts is Israel’s deliberate targeting of civilian targets in Gaza, using numerous sources from the Israeli Defense Force. But alongside the overwhelming acclaim for “NAZA” from the festival, praise that has only grown as it now begins it theatrical rollout worldwide, the film also provoked a near instant backlash from within Israel, particularly from members of the Israeli government.
