The Voice of Hind Rajab

Nominated for Best International Feature at the 2026 Academy Awards

Calling for help from inside a car under heavy Israeli military fire in Gaza, Hind Rajab, a 5-year-old Palestinian girl, reached countless listeners around the world after recordings of her desperate pleas were released online. This new film, made by Academy Award nominee Kaouther Ben Hania (Four Daughters) in collaboration with Hind’s family and the Palestine Red Crescent Society, combines archival audio with dramatic recreations of the emergency workers at the call center as they try to dispatch rescuers. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 2025 Venice Film Festival, this powerful film compels us to face this tragedy with open eyes.

"[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
