January 29, 2024. Volunteers from the Red Crescent receive an emergency call. A six-year-old girl, Hind Rajab, is trapped in a car under fire in Gaza and is begging for help. While the emergency responders try to keep her on the phone, they do everything they can to get an ambulance to her. But without permission from the Israeli army, no vehicle can be allowed in. They wait for hours for a response, but in the end, all help comes too late. Hind's voice remains as a testimony. The scenes in the emergency services control room have been reconstructed and staged, based on eyewitness accounts and transcripts; the voices on the audio tapes are real. Kaouther Ben Hania: “This story is about our shared responsibility (...) and how the silence of the world is part of the violence.”


The Voice of Hind Rajab won the Grand Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival and the Grand Prix for Best Film at Film Fest Gent. The film is also Tunisia's Oscar entry, giving Kaouther Ben Hania another chance at an Oscar—after her previous nominations for Four Daughters and The Man Who Sold This Skin.
