On January 29, 2024, five-year-old Hind Rajab was trapped in a car under heavy fire in Gaza — the sole survivor among her family. Her desperate emergency calls reached volunteers at the Palestine Red Crescent Society, who attempted to keep her calm and coordinate a rescue, even as their efforts were blocked by IDF checkpoints and the impossibility of securing safe passage.
In The Voice of Hind Rajab, Academy Award–nominated filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania (Four Daughters, The Man Who Sold His Skin) interweaves the real emergency recordings — which went viral globally — with dramatizations of the paramedics racing against time, capturing both their anguish and determination. Centering on one child’s life and the volunteers risking their own to save civilians, Ben Hania brings visceral immediacy and human urgency to an ongoing war that has killed tens of thousands. The film was made in collaboration with Hind’s family and the Palestine Red Crescent.
