The Guardian-produced documentary NAZA received a 25-minute standing ovation at its premiere at the Venice film festival, according to The Guardian. The film examines the civilian death toll in Gaza, taking its title from an Israeli military term for expected "collateral casualties" in military operations.
The extended ovation underscores significant audience response to the work at one of the world's most prominent film festivals. The screening marked a major platform for the documentary's examination of the humanitarian impact of the conflict in Gaza.
