The Voice of Hind Rajab

Q&A with filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania, moderated by Stephen Apkon on Feb. 6

2025. 89 m. Kaouther Ben Hania. WILLA. Tunisia/France. Arabic with subtitles. Rated NR.

Nominated for Best International Feature at the 2026 Academy Awards

The Voice of Hind Rajab, from director Kaouther Ben Hania (Four Daughters, The Man Who Sold His Skin) uses real audio combined with a reenactment by actors to tell the true story of Hind Rajab and the heroic Red Crescent volunteers who tried to save her.

January 29, 2024: Red Crescent volunteers receive an emergency call. A 5-year old girl is trapped in a car under fire in Gaza, pleading for rescue. While trying to keep her on the line, they do everything they can to get an ambulance to her. Her name was Hind Rajab.

"No other film this year will get more people talking, or more people crying."
Nicholas Barber, BBC
"[Director Kaouther Ben Hania's] is a utilitarian mission: to embed the audience in the sensory experience of being in a war zone without letting them scroll past or swipe to the next video."
Gregory Nussen, Screen Rant
