January 29, 2024. Red Crescent volunteers receive an emergency call. A six-year-old girl is trapped in a car under fire in Gaza, pleading for rescue. While trying to keep her on the line, they do everything they can to get an ambulance to her. Her name was Hind Rajab. Incorporating real-life elements that are as difficult to watch as they are impossible to forget, The Voice of Hind Rajab makes a powerful appeal to our shared humanity as it demands we bear witness to the worst tragedy of our century. Absolutely essential viewing. In English and Arabic, with English subtitles. 89 minutes.
