Overview
January 29, 2024. Red Crescent volunteers receive an emergency call. A 6-year old girl pleads for rescue trapped in a car under fire from Israeli Defense Forces in Gaza. While trying to keep her on the line, the team do everything they can to get an ambulance to her. Her name was Hind Rajab. Combining real audio with dramatisations of the volunteers, filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania (Four Daughters, The Man Who Sold His Skin) has crafted an urgent plea to listen and remember this tragedy and the tens of thousands like it.

Why You Should See This Film
Winner of several awards including the Grand Jury prize at Venice (where it set the record for longest standing ovation), The Voice of Hind Rajab is a vital film for the current moment. Working closely with Hind’s mother and the people on the other end of the call who tried to help, Ben Hania has tactfully, compassionately and confrontingly made a film very close to the actual events of that terrible day; a call to bear witness, to humanise headlines and statistics and feel the reality of Israel’s ongoing genocide against the people of Palestine.
