Why is the documentary ‘NAZA’ causing a political storm? Here are 5 things to know.

This page is our briefing, not a reprint of the Religion News Service report. We logged the item because it sits in the public record around Yuval Abraham, Rachel Szor, and NAZA.

Context already on this site: NAZA, directed by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, premiered in Venice’s 2026 main competition, drew a record standing ovation, and was followed by ministerial attacks, a citizenship-revocation threat, and solidarity letters.

Summary of the article

On Sep 29, 2026, Religion News Service published: Why is the documentary ‘NAZA’ causing a political storm? Here are 5 things to know. That is the item we summarise on this page — not a reprint of their article.

Our perspective

If Religion News Service is arguing the film, argue the film. Do not launder that into a campaign against the two directors. This desk is with Abraham and Szor. This unofficial page exists so “Why is the documentary ‘NAZA’ causing” is not the last word. Abraham and Szor get the last word by being watched.

Unofficial. We support Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor. We do not reprint the outlet and we do not invent a donation page.
