On January 29, 2024, the Palestinian Red Crescent receives an emergency call. A five-year-old girl is trapped in a car under fire in Gaza. Several of her relatives have been killed, their bodies lying beside her in the vehicle. Emergency operators remain on the phone with the child as they desperately attempt to send an ambulance into the life-threatening area.

Tunisian director Kaouther Ben Hania previously explored a similar hybrid of documentary and dramatization in Four Daughters (2023), screened at Kosmorama in 2024.
The Voice of Hind Rajab received a powerful reception at the Venice Film Festival, where it was awarded the Jury Prize. With relentless intensity and a true story at its core, the film confronts us with the brutal realities of war. The impressions it leaves are lasting and profound. The screening will be introduced by Amnesty International.
