The Documentary Organization of Canada (DOC) joins the International Documentary Association (IDA) in standing with NAZA directors Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, and calling for an end to the threats and intimidation directed against them in response to their work.
As a partner of the International Coalition for Filmmakers at Risk (ICFR), DOC believes that filmmakers must be able to investigate matters of public interest—including subjects that are politically contentious or deeply uncomfortable—without fear of persecution or retaliation.
Governments, institutions and audiences have every right to challenge and debate the claims documentaries make. But disagreement cannot justify threats against filmmakers, interference with confidential sources, or the use of state power to punish critical expression.
As NAZA reaches audiences around the world, DOC stands with Abraham and Szor—and with documentary filmmakers everywhere whose ability to work freely and safely is threatened because of the stories they choose to tell.
