Twenty-five minutes is a long time to keep an audience standing, but NAZA somehow managed to make Venice do exactly that. The 80-minute documentary premiered on September 10, 2026, and reportedly received a record-breaking 24.5- to 25-minute standing ovation in the Sala Grande. The film then capped its extraordinary festival run by winning the prestigious Special Jury Prize.

Now, the wider public can finally discover what made NAZA so intriguing to Venice audiences, as it makes its way to streaming.

Yuval Abraham is making sure NAZA does not remain a Venice sensation that only a festival crowd gets to experience. Through a post on X, the filmmaker revealed that he and Rachel Szor, together with The Guardian, decided to make the documentary available online for free, with no time limit, as early as November.

Before that happens, Abraham said the team has offered NAZA to Israeli cinemas at no cost, hoping audiences can see the documentary there while its international theatrical release gets underway. He also pushed back against what he described as inaccurate claims surrounding the film, stressing that it was shaped by three years of journalistic investigation and that its details were carefully verified and cross-checked.

Abraham added in the X post that NAZA was made to encourage public discussion, with 24 soldiers and female soldiers agreeing to speak on camera about their experiences. He said the film would ultimately speak for itself, while acknowledging that its release has already brought considerable attention and scrutiny. Now, with a free online release planned, that conversation is set to reach a much larger audience.

With that, NAZA is taking its record-breaking Venice ovation from the festival floor to streaming, joining the other titles that made waves on the Lido.

The Venice Film Festival is not done sending its biggest talking points beyond the Lido. Danny Boyle’s Ink, which opened the 83rd Venice International Film Festival, is heading to Netflix in January 2027 after its December theatrical release. Lee Chang-dong’s Possible Love is also backed by Netflix following its Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize win.

Meanwhile, Oasis: Don't Look Back In Anger will bring its highly anticipated reunion story to Disney+ and Hulu later this year. Robert Pattinson’s competition thriller Primetime is also lined up for streaming on Lionsgate Play and in select regions after its theatrical run. Together, these titles, alongside Ink, give streaming audiences another way to catch the Venice standouts making noise this year.
