January 29, 2024. Red Crescent volunteers receive an emergency call. A six-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. Using actual call recordings and scripted re-enactments based on first-hand testimony, Oscar® nominated director Kaouther Ben Hania blends documentary and drama to devastating effect.
Winner of Grand Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival (having received a festival record 23 minute-plus standing ovation), Ben Hania's docudrama has been described by The Guardian as "fierce, urgent and heart-shattering". Utilising the power of cinema as a narrative tool to cut through the news cycle, The Voice of Hind Rajab is a poignant and unflinching portrait of an avoidable tragedy.
**Please Note: This film is based on real events and contains violence and mature themes.
