Awaiting deadline 35% Limited Theatrical Screening
Following pressure from the producers, at least one cinema chain in Israel agrees to show 'NAZA' as part of a special limited release before the online debut. This allows for initial audience reactions and media coverage. This may be accompanied by minor protests at the cinema entrances.
