The architects of the Zionist entity’s killing machine in Gaza are confessing on camera — and the world is lining up to watch. NAZA, the documentary built on the testimony of the very people who designed and operated the systems behind the mass killing of Palestinian civilians, has sold more than 1.54 million tickets across 47 territories as of November 6, according to IMDb figures cited by Al Mayadeen, making it one of the best-attended theatrical documentaries of 2026.
The film comes from Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, the Israeli filmmaking duo behind the 2025 Oscar-winning No Other Land. Its title is an acronym of the Hebrew phrase “nezek agavi” — “collateral damage” — the bureaucratic euphemism the occupation uses to launder the murder of civilians. Structured around nighttime conversations on Tel Aviv rooftops, the film lets the operators of the genocide describe, in their own words, how the machinery worked.
At the Venice Film Festival, NAZA was the only nonfiction title in the main competition. It took the Special Jury Prize after a 25-minute standing ovation — a record for the festival.
Italy leads a global turnout
Producers put worldwide earnings above $14 million, with roughly $13.5 million coming from outside the United States. In the US, where the total has passed $1 million and continues to climb, mTuckman Media began an independent release on September 30 before Neon widened the run in late October.
No country has embraced the film more than Italy. Released by I Wonder on September 29, it topped the box office on opening day and has grossed over $6 million — only Fahrenheit 9/11 and March of the Penguins have drawn larger documentary audiences there.
Across Europe, the turnout has been striking: over 100,000 admissions each in the UK/Ireland (Dogwoof) and the Benelux (Cherry Pickers), more than 80,000 in Germany, 60,000 in Spain, and 50,000 in Switzerland. In France, restrictive release-window rules limited NAZA to a two-day event run — it still sold over 82,000 tickets and finished first at the box office.
Confessions the entity cannot bomb
Inside “Israel,” the reaction has been open panic. Benjamin Netanyahu has demanded that the whistleblowers who appear in the film be identified and prosecuted, while the culture minister has floated stripping the directors of their passports. Al Mayadeen has described the film as an “eighth front” — one shaking the entity from within, beyond the reach of its air force.
The testimony will soon be beyond anyone’s reach to suppress: The Guardian, which co-produced NAZA, will stream it free of charge on its website from early December — putting the confessions of the genocide’s own engineers before millions more.
