The Voice of Hind Rajab
Directed by:
Kaouther ben HaniaSynopsis
Original Title: Sawt Hind Rajab
On January 29, 2024, Red Crescent volunteers received an emergency call: a six-year-old girl was trapped in a car under fire in Gaza, pleading for rescue. As they tried to keep her on the line, they did everything possible to get an ambulance to her. Her name was Hind Rajab.
Oscar-nominee Kaouther Ben Hania (Four Daughters (2023)) stages the film in a call centre, using the real recordings of the little girl’s voice calling for help that never came.
If The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) could be called "just a film," it is certainly the most necessary one today.
"Not only the most politically forceful film in Competition [at the Venice Film Festival], but the most gripping narratively and emotionally"
