The Voice of Hind Rajab is a film that has moved audiences across the globe. Don’t miss this powerful screening and discussion. This docudrama uses the real recorded emergency call that a six-year-old girl made to the Red Crescent while trapped in a car under fire in Gaza. While trying to keep her on the line, they do everything they can to get an ambulance to her. Her name was Hind Rajab.

From Director Kaouther ben Hania: “I wove a story around their testimonies, using the real audio recording of Hind’s voice, and building a single-location film where the violence remains off-screen… Because violent images are everywhere on our screens, our timelines, our phones. What I wanted was to focus on the invisible: the waiting, the fear, the unbearable sound of silence when help doesn’t come.”

Film synopsis: 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 every thing they can to get an ambulance to her. Her name was Hind Rajab. Note: The film is based on real events and emergency calls recorded by the Palestine Red Crescent. The voices on the phone are real.
