The Voice of Hind Rajab is a 2025 hybrid docudrama that tells the harrowing true story of six-year-old Hind Rajab, a Palestinian girl who was killed in Gaza while trying to flee with her family. Rather than showing graphic violence, the film uses authentic audio recordings of Hind's desperate emergency phone calls to the Palestine Red Crescent Society as aid workers attempt to coordinate a rescue amid the chaos of bombardment.
The film blends these real elements with acted sequences focused on the responders' efforts and emotional struggle. This innovative approach creates an immersive experience that honors Hind's memory while exploring the broader humanitarian context. Director Kaouther Ben Hania continues her tradition of powerful storytelling, making this Oscar nomination another significant achievement in her career.
