“I'm just a small cog”
Directors Abraham and Szor (No Other Land) have delivered another extraordinarily powerful documentary that cuts to the heart of the oppressive state. Filmed almost entirely on rooftops at night in Tel Aviv, the filmmakers allow former and current military members to candidly discuss what they've done in Palestine, calmly revealing a inner workings of a genocidal project. Confronting and at times terrifying, NAZA (referring to the projected civilian casualties of a military action) is an urgent piece of filmmaking, using its straightforward and neutral tone to convey truly disturbing revelations.
“Restrained, intelligent, articulate, precise and utterly damning”
“Powerful and unsettling”
“Effective and urgent”
In trying to come to terms with the devastation inflicted on Palestine, the filmmakers found themselves asking the very questions that were asked by their grandparents’ generation and throughout the 20th century: how does one group of people allow the total dehumanisation of another? What do the inner workings of such a system look like? With remarkable restraint, NAZA methodically unveils the ways AI and surveillance technology have reshaped modern warfare.
