The Voice of Hind Rajab
About The Voice of Hind Rajab:
January 29, 2024. Red Crescent volunteers receive a distress call. A six-year-old girl, Hind Rajab, is trapped in a car under fire in Gaza and begs for help. As emergency workers try to keep her on the phone, they make every effort to get an ambulance to her.
But without permission from the Israeli army, no vehicle can be allowed in. They wait hours for answers, but in the end all help comes too late. Hind's voice remains as testimony. The scenes in the emergency services control room are reconstructed and staged, based on eyewitness accounts and transcripts; the voices on the audio tapes are real.
