Go2Films boards sales rights for Jason Alexander-narrated documentary about Entebbe hostage crisis

A documentary about the 1976 Entebbe hostage crisis has secured a film sales and distribution agreement ahead of a festival debut, Deadline reported June 19. “To Kill A Nazi,” directed by Penn State professor Boaz Dvir and narrated by Jason Alexander, received sales rights backing from Go2Films, the report said, with a trailer released in advance of its appearance on the festival circuit.

The film is centered on the Entebbe hostage crisis, a high-profile 1970s raid involving Israeli commandos and the hostage situation at Entebbe, and was created to mark the incident’s 50-year anniversary. Deadline described the project as a documentary tied to the historical event and framed around the questions raised by the operation and its aftermath.

Go2Films’ involvement will give the documentary a sales presence prior to and around its world premiere at Dances With Films. According to the report, the premiere is scheduled for Monday, June 22 at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, which is where the film will first be presented publicly.

Deadline also reported that the project’s launch materials include a trailer released ahead of the festival date, with the creative team’s work intended to introduce the story to audiences at the start of the showings at Dances With Films. The report did not describe runtime or specific distribution territory terms, but it characterized Go2Films as taking on sales rights.

In addition to Dvir and Alexander, the report identifies the documentary by its full title, “To Kill A Nazi,” and ties the production to its historical subject matter rather than to a contemporary narrative thread. The article also positioned the film as part of the cultural programming around Dances With Films, a setting that typically acts as an early stop for films seeking wider distribution.

A request for comment on the sales terms and release plans beyond the festival date was not included in the Deadline report. It also did not provide details on whether additional festival screenings are planned immediately after the June 22 premiere.

For audiences, the immediate next step is the festival premiere itself at the TCL Chinese Theatre on June 22, followed by any additional screenings that organizers and the sales partner announce. For industry observers, the Go2Films sales deal represents the early distribution phase for a documentary currently built around a fixed historical event and a recognizable narration credit.

Beyond the premiere logistics, the film’s release schedule will likely hinge on its reception at Dances With Films and subsequent negotiations that determine broader release or streaming visibility, though those downstream outcomes were not described in the report.
