THEHind Rajab’s voice
Type: epochal drama
Director: Kaouther Ben Hania. With Saja Kilani, Amer Hlehel, Clara Khoury, Motaz Malhees
The “voice” is that of a six -year -old girl who, on January 29, 2024he kept the members of the Palestinian Red Crescent (their Red Cross) nailed on the phone asking to be saved. Entered Gaza, The Israelis had machine gelled the car with whom he tried to run away with the uncles And she was the only survivor.
The film by the Tunisian director Kouther Ben Hania reconstructs those dramatic hours using authentic audiobut without wanting to “cheat” the viewer: the recordings have their own precise visual form, that of a clear line that records the impulses of the voice on a black background.
A scene of the dramatic “Hind Rajab’s voice”
Fiction is used to show members of the rescue unit, all interpreted by actors, which revive what happened in those hours: First the shock, then the attempt to help her asking the green light from the Israeli army, the bureaucratic delays, the efforts to reassure the girl.
The director does not hide the difference between what is true and what is reconstructed, avoids rhetorical pulls and entrusts every reflection to impotence in the face of the cruelty of those who prevent to bring help.
For those who want to touch the tragedy of Gaza.
