The Voice of Hind Rajab - MtM On Tour

Aan de hand van echte noodtelefoongesprekken reconstrueert The Voice of Hind Rajab de aangrijpende laatste uren van de zesjarige Hind in Gaza, en legt de film de dodelijke gevolgen bloot van politieke stilte en uitblijvende hulp.

The Voice of Hind Rajab gives six-year-old Palestinian Hind Rajab her voice back. Director Kaouther Ben Hania reconstructs the shocking, true events surrounding her death based on the original telephone conversations between Hind and the emergency services. An urgent, confrontational, and unique cinematic experience.

January 29, 2024. Volunteers from the Red Crescent receive an emergency call. A six-year-old girl, Hind Rajab, is trapped in a car under fire in Gaza and begging for help. While the emergency responders try to keep her on the phone, they do everything they can to get an ambulance to her. But without permission from the Israeli army, no vehicle can be allowed in. They wait for hours for a response, but in the end, all help comes too late. Hind's voice remains as a testimony. The scenes in the emergency services control room have been reconstructed and staged, based on eyewitness accounts and transcripts; the voices on the audio tapes are real. Kaouther Ben Hania: “This story is about our shared responsibility (...) and how the silence of the world is part of the violence.”

Stick around after the screening for an engaging Q&A session with our guest speakers - Thomas van Gool and Faten Bushehri.

Thomas combines providing the best possible support to Israeli and Palestinian peace and human rights activists and organizations with his commitment to a better and more just Dutch policy on Israel-Palestine.

Faten Bushehri is a Bahraini filmmaker and storyteller who focuses on human stories that aim to have an emotional impact on audiences, capturing dramatic and compelling messages.
