The voice of Hind Rajab echoes eternally in this unbelievable, yet incredibly realistic film. 

On the 29th of January, 2024, the volunteers of Palestine Red Crescent Society receive an emergency call. A six-year-old girl is stuck in Gaza, in a car taking heavy fire, and she begs for help. While they try to keep her on the phone, they do everything in their power to send an ambulance over to her. Her name was Hind Rajab.

No single film was talked about as much as “The Voice of Hind Rajab”, at the Venice film festival, 2025. During the world premiere it received a standing ovation of a whopping 23 minutes. Unheard of. It’s Hind Rajab’s own voice that closes the distance between the audience and the events in the film, making it a heartbreaking cinematic statement.
