Winner, Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize, 2025 Venice Film Festival
January 29, 2024. Red Crescent volunteers receive an emergency call. A 5-year-old girl is trapped in a car under fire in Gaza, pleading for rescue. While trying to keep her on the line, they do everything they can to get an ambulance to her. Her name was Hind Rajab.
In The Voice of Hind Rajab, Academy Award®-nominated filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania (Four Daughters, The Man Who Sold His Skin) blends the actual phone recordings, which went viral several weeks after this incident, with dramatizations of the emergency workers racing against time, and the situation's emotional impact, to coordinate paramedics who could save her.
