The first thing that we want is the war to end.
Rebecca KesbyHOST
For this interview, I spoke to Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Shaw.
Rebecca KesbyHOST
Abraham and Shaw gained international attention last year with their self-distributed film No Other Land, made in collaboration with two Palestinian filmmakers.
Rebecca KesbyHOST
The film, which won the 2025 Academy Award for the Best Documentary Feature, recorded the forced displacement of Palestinian families from their homes in the occupied West Bank.
Rebecca KesbyHOST
The pair's latest critically acclaimed documentary, Naza, investigates civilian casualties from Israel's ongoing military operations in Gaza.
Rebecca KesbyHOST
It also received a record-breaking 25-minute standing ovation.
Rebecca KesbyHOST
But the film has angered many people back home, including Israel's culture minister, who's called for Abraham and Shaw to be stripped of their citizenship over what he called treason against the state.
Rebecca KesbyHOST
The filmmakers, however, stand by their work.
Carter ShermanHOST
And before you go, I want to urge you to check out Naza, The Guardian's new award-winning documentary.
Carter ShermanHOST
It's directed by two of the Oscar-winning filmmakers behind No Other Land.
Carter ShermanHOST
And Naza reveals the secret systems used by the Israeli military in the mass killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza.
Carter ShermanHOST
This is the documentary that the Israeli government doesn't want you to see.
Celeste MarcusHOST
On this episode of the podcast, my co-host Amit Orfali and I were lucky to talk to Sammy, who is a resident of Masafriyata.
Celeste MarcusHOST
And Masafriyata is better known than other villages or cities in the West Bank because it is the place where No Other Land, an Oscar-winning documentary, was filmed.
Celeste MarcusHOST
And so there are more activists there.
Celeste MarcusHOST
It's better organized in terms of the activism side of things.
Michael SafiHOST
Go and watch it if you can.
Michael SafiHOST
It's directed by two of the Oscar-winning directors of the film No Other Land, which is also incredible.
Michael SafiHOST
Nasa reveals the secret systems used by the Israeli military in the mass killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza.
Michael SafiHOST
It's an extraordinarily powerful film produced by The Guardian.
Michael SafiHOST
Thanks for listening to this episode of The Latest.
Michael SafiHOST
Today in Focus will be back in your feeds tomorrow morning, and The Latest will be back tomorrow evening.
Dan MurrellHOST
And it was announced today that they have picked up distribution for NASA.
Dan MurrellHOST
which is the latest documentary from two of the filmmakers behind No Other Land, which won an Academy Award and never got official theatrical distribution.
Dan MurrellHOST
The two filmmakers behind this are Israeli filmmakers, documentarians, and this film struggled with distribution because it looks at the war that's happening right now in Gaza, between Gaza and Israel, or really kind of a one-sided thing, in my opinion.
Dan MurrellHOST
And it documents what it says are basically war crimes, atrocities that are happening.
Dan MurrellHOST
And this is a very hot-button issue, obviously.
Dan MurrellHOST
People are going to get very stirred up by this.
Dan MurrellHOST
It's why no other land Despite being what I thought was an incredibly well-made film and an effective documentary and a powerful documentary, it's why No Other Land never got distribution.
Dan MurrellHOST
And it looked like NASA maybe was never going to get official distribution as well.
Matt LoveranesGUEST
It's a new release that I saw.
Matt LoveranesGUEST
It's a film called Naza, which if you saw the film No Other Land or No Other
MikeHOST
Choice...
Matt LoveranesGUEST
No.
Hilal ElverGUEST
land.
Margo PattersonHOST
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the Israeli Attorney General, the Military Chief of Staff, and the head of the Domestic Intelligence Service to discover the identities of the Israeli soldiers and officers interviewed in the film Naza and prosecute them.
Margo PattersonHOST
The documentary by filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Zohr examines the mass killing of civilians in Gaza through the testimony of anonymous Israeli soldiers and in September won the prestigious special jury prize at the Venice International Film Festival.
Margo PattersonHOST
Netanyahu has since said he would pursue new laws allowing Israel to strip citizenship from people who smear Israeli soldiers.
Mark AdderleyHOST
I have to beg to differ a little bit on this.
Mark AdderleyHOST
I think it's the latest in many films that have been made both by, I think, Palestinians, where they can make films, footage that we've shared and seen by Palestinians and photographers, films like No Other Land, which was made by these two filmmakers and two Palestinian filmmakers.
Mark AdderleyHOST
Yes, it's frustrating, perhaps.
Nadia SawalhaHOST
He's been bravely speaking out for decades, this director as well.
speaker_0HOST
We saw this at the New York Film Festival this past week, created by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Zohr.
speaker_0HOST
Those are two of the people that were involved in No Other Land, the documentary from two years ago that won Best Documentary Feature at the Oscars last year.
speaker_0HOST
So this is a film that is very much in conversation with No Other Land, but from the perspective of different people, where No Other Land, we were in the West Bank and looking at forces, Israeli forces that are breaking down homes in Masyafiyata.
speaker_0HOST
You know, here we have people who work in the political and military apparatus in Israel itself.
speaker_0HOST
And so this film takes place in Tel Aviv, and it's a selection of interviews of 23 people that work in the government or had worked in the government on a lot of these programs that have led to such mass casualties.
speaker_0HOST
Oh.
speaker_1HOST
And right after that it's going to be streaming for free on The Guardian's website and I don't think that you stream your movie for free if you have bad intentions.
speaker_1HOST
When you take money out of the equation I think that there's a natural integrity of just wanting to show the truth as you see it to be broadcasting and I found this film unnerving and courageous and extremely responsible in its filmmaking just as No Other Land was.
Dan SlevinPANELIST
So it is very, very new.
Dan SlevinPANELIST
And it is a documentary by half of the directing team that made the film No Other Land, which won the Academy Award for Documentary.
Dan SlevinPANELIST
last year or the year before and so Yuval Abraham and Rachel Zohr are the directors and this is a documentary that is about the war in Gaza and it is interviews with 24 Israeli intelligence and military officers some former some current all anonymized they're photographed in shadow on tel aviv rooftops and their voices are disguised and they are telling the interviewer yuval abraham about their experiences uh essentially fighting the war in Gaza by remote control.
Dan SlevinPANELIST
So much of that war is being fought by drones.
