Investigative reporter Harry Davies, who produced the film, stated, "'NZA' is based on meticulous journalism published over the last three years, but it is also a powerful cinematic work that will soon be available on screens, large and small, around the world." The film has also been offered to distributors and cinemas in Israel. The Guardian is exploring additional avenues for screening the film within the "occupied Palestinian territories."
In a previous interview, Avraham discussed the sources for the film's interviews with 24 soldiers and officers from Unit 8200, an elite intelligence unit. Regarding a potential screening in Israel, Avraham expressed his commitment to making it happen, emphasizing its importance and criticality. He also addressed the exclusion of testimonies or footage from hostages, explaining that the film focuses on the events of October 7th and presents accounts from 24 soldiers who testify to difficult actions and the systematic destruction of neighborhoods and killing of Palestinians, stating, "These things cannot continue."
