Tunisian filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania‘s THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB skillfully blends documentary and dramatic narrative elements to tell the true, and truly harrowing story behind an incident experienced in 2024 when volunteers at the Palestine Red Crescent Society stayed on the phone with a 6-year-old girl who was herself trapped inside a car in war-torn Gaza. Lauded at film festivals around the world, it took the coveted Silver Lion Prize at the Venice Film Festival and was recently nominated for a Golden Globe in the Best Non-English Language Film category. THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB is Tunisia’s official submission for this year’s Oscars.

“About as powerful as cinema gets. Its hybrid blend of documentary audio and devastating dramatisation is heart-wrenchingly, shatteringly effective.” (Empire Magazine)

“‘The Voice of Hind Rajab’’s release during the ongoing humanitarian crisis moves it beyond documentation and into an essential act of intervention.” (Time Out)

“The actors on screen react in real-time with the recordings of that harrowing day, and the effect is at once painfully direct, and profound.” (NPR)

“Visually, this widescreen film is a virtuoso exercise in (mostly) single-location filmmaking.” (New York Times)

“Discomfiting and emotionally devastating in the extreme, Tunisian director Kaouther Ben Hania’s dramatised account of Hind’s death is utterly essential film-making.” (London Evening Standard)
