Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor (makers of No Other Land) have 24 Israeli soldiers testify about their attacks on Gaza. In Naza you see how the army determines who is a target and how many civilian casualties an attack may cost. To be seen at Lab111 Amsterdam. Soldier testimonies on attacks on Gaza
In Naza, 24 Israeli soldiers have their say. On the rooftops of Tel Aviv, they talk about their experiences at night. Step by step, it becomes clear how the army and intelligence services determine who is a target, which technologies play a role in this, and how many civilian casualties an attack is allowed to cost. Dozens to sometimes hundreds of Palestinian civilians can count as an acceptable price for eliminating 1 target.
The meaning behind the title
The title Naza refers to the Hebrew military term Nezek Agavi, which means 'collateral damage': the expected number of civilian casualties of an airstrike. With this, the film poses a poignant question: how can the killing of civilians become so normalized that it is no longer seen as a moral or legal problem?
Makers of No Other Land
The documentary was made by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, known for the Oscar-winning film No Other Land. Naza premiered at the Venice Film Festival, where the film won the Special Jury Prize. You can see the film at Lab111 in Amsterdam.
