Awarded in Venice

In the midst of political debate
The controversy in Israel has intensified as the parliamentary elections scheduled for 27 October approach. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has strongly criticized the documentary and announced that he will push for a bill to take action against those who "defame" Israeli soldiers.
The film has also been criticized by opposition representatives, including the former army chief of staff and leader of Yashar!, Gadi Eisenkot, who has opposed the directors and said the documentary offers a "distorted" image of the Israel Defense Forces.
Meanwhile, Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor have been threatened and have not returned to Israel.
The Israeli army, for its part, has dismissed the allegations made in the documentary and questioned the verification of some of the testimonies collected in the film.
It is in this context that the NAZA arrives in San Sebastián , and the San Sebastián-San Sebastián Film Festival will compete for the Audience Award in the Pearls section.
