NAZA documentary set for free Guardian streaming in November
Co-director Yuval Abraham says the film will be available online after its theatrical rollout. It examines allegations about AI-assisted targeting in Gaza.
NAZA, a documentary investigating allegations about Israeli military conduct in Gaza, is scheduled to stream free on The Guardian’s website from November, co-director Yuval Abraham announced on 24 September. The release will follow its theatrical rollout, and no specific streaming date has been given.
The Guardian helped produce the 80-minute film, which Abraham co-directed with Rachel Szor. It is based on a nearly three-year investigation drawing on testimony from Israeli military and intelligence sources whose identities are concealed.
The documentary examines claims by those sources that an AI system called Lavender was used to identify assassination targets in Gaza. The allegations, including claims about the system’s use and potential civilian risks, are presented through the film and its sources; they are not independently established in the material available.
NAZA is due to premiere in the United States at the New York Film Festival on Saturday, with screenings also planned in several other countries. It received the Special Jury Prize at this year’s Venice International Film Festival.
