The Shehab wire reported that the film "Nuestra" (Ours), directed by Israelis Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, sparked widespread controversy following its screening at the Venice Film Festival. The documentary draws on testimony from 24 Israeli soldiers, officers, and intelligence operatives who describe their experiences and observations in Gaza.
The film's reception at the festival has prompted broader discussion about how accounts of the war reach international audiences and audiences' receptiveness to different sources of information about events in Gaza. The work represents one of the few major documentary projects centered on Israeli perspectives from the conflict to gain significant international visibility at a prestigious venue.
