“NAZA,” a documentary that tackles the killings in Gaza, has attracted more than 1.5 million cinema admissions across 47 territories as of 6 November, according to Variety. The film, which earned a special jury prize at the recent Venice Film Festival, now ranks among the most‑watched documentaries released in theatres this year.
The Israeli‑produced feature was directed and co‑written by Yuval Abraham and his collaborators. “NAZA” follows the story of a young man who becomes a whistle‑blower after witnessing a series of violent incidents in the Gaza Strip, offering a stark look at the human cost of conflict.
Its strong box‑office performance reflects growing audience interest in documentary cinema that tackles contentious political subjects. The 1.5 million admissions spread over 47 territories demonstrate the film’s wide international reach.
“NAZA” was one of the standout entries at the Venice Film Festival, where it was awarded a special jury prize for its powerful storytelling and unflinching examination of a fraught region.
With its combination of on‑the‑ground footage and personal testimony, the documentary has sparked conversation among viewers and critics alike, cementing its place in the year’s most‑viewed documentary lineup.
