Israeli whistleblowers detail Gaza civilian toll in Venice film
The documentary uses anonymous testimony from 24 Israeli military insiders to describe surveillance, hacked phones and AI-assisted strike planning.
- On Thursday, September 10, the Israeli documentary "NAZA" premiered at the Venice Film Festival, drawing a record-breaking 24-and-a-half-minute standing ovation from the audience.
- Filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor spent nearly three years creating the 80-minute documentary, which investigates bureaucratic systems behind military operations in Gaza.
- Through interviews with 24 military whistleblowers, the film details an AI-powered system called "Lavender" used to identify targets, with interviewees describing operations as a killing "factory."
- Screen magazine called the work an "urgent, gut-punch," while critics compared it to director Jonathan Glazer's Oscar-winning "The Zone of Interest" for examining bureaucratic atrocity.
- Abraham and Szor aim to expose "orders, policies, and patterns of operation," hoping the film will encourage Western nations to apply pressure on Israel and support human rights advocates.
