Many of the revelations in the film were published almost immediately as we learned of them in the months following the October 7th attacks by The Guardian (one of NAZA’s producers), in collaboration with reporting partners +972 Magazine and Local Call.

It is up to all of us to break that silence. In Hebrew and English with English subtitles.
