Over two weeks of release, “NAZA” will cross the $500,000 mark, an impressive accomplishment for any nonfiction film, especially one about such a hot-button, politically charged topic.⁠
⁠
“NAZA” premiered at New York’s IFC Center last weekend, where it went on to earn more than $125,000 over its first eight days. It then expanded to 85 theaters in 30 cities across North America, earning another $298,240 over the three-day weekend and an estimated $378,200 over the four-day holiday. Its domestic haul now stands at over $500,000. ⁠
⁠
The film’s distribution is being led by producers The Guardian and mk2. They have said that it will begin streaming for free on The Guardian’s website beginning in November.⁠

🎞️ABOUT THE FILM:
At 20 years old, Joan (pronounced Jo-Ann) Little was incarcerated in North Carolina when she killed a white jailer who she said tried to r**e her. The landmark 1975 murder trial drew national attention, becoming a rallying point for civil rights, women's rights and prison reform. The case brought together activists including Angela Davis and Rosa Parks, and catalyzed a national conversation about sexual assault and racial justice. Little's fight for freedom remains a defining moment in American legal and social history.
