Film about Palestinian girl's desperate plea was a 'way to not feel helpless', says director
AI Summary
Filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania created the docudrama "The Voice of Hind Rajab" after hearing the emergency call of six-year-old Hind Rajab, a Palestinian girl trapped in Gaza City in 2024. Rajab, along with family members and paramedics sent to rescue her, were killed, likely by Israeli fire. Ben Hania, a Tunisian two-time Oscar nominee, shifted her focus to this story to bear witness and combat feelings of helplessness. Independent investigations suggest Israeli tank fire caused the damage to Rajab's car and the ambulance. The Israel Defence Force initially denied troops were in the area, but later stated forces conducted raids in the vicinity. The UN cited Rajab's case in a war crimes inquiry against Israel.
