The Guardian and NAZA: How the Documentary Was Produced and Released

NAZA is a Guardian-produced documentary that grew out of investigative reporting and was released internationally through a partnership involving The Guardian and mk2 Films.

The Guardian’s role

The Guardian is not merely reviewing NAZA; it is a producer and distributor partner. Its press materials describe a 56-territory theatrical rollout and a plan for free digital availability after the cinema run.

From reporting to film

The filmmakers say the documentary builds on years of investigative work and more than 100 sources, while the finished film centers on 24 anonymous Israeli military and intelligence insiders.
