The Voice of Hind Rajab
Two years after six-year-old Hind Rajab was killed in Gaza, the Palestinian Film Festival Australia honours her memory with the Australian premiere of Kaouther Ben Hania’s award-winning docudrama.
The Voice of Hind Rajab opens in Australian and New Zealand cinemas from 5 March 2026.
An urgent and harrowing docudrama that reconstructs the final hours of six-year-old Hind Rajab, trapped in a car in Gaza on 29 January 2024. Director Kaouther Ben Hania weaves real audio recordings with dramatised re-enactments of Red Crescent volunteers desperately trying to save her life.
Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 2025 Venice International Film Festival.
A soul-stirring docudrama... exists not just as a clarion call to say never again, it also asks you to sit with this violence. The physical, mental, and administrative violence that was inflicted on this young girl, who, like so many of her peers, should still be here today."
Marya E. Gates, RogerEbert.com
"Incorporating real-life elements that are as difficult to witness as they are impossible to forget, The Voice of Hind Rajab is a harrowing docudrama that makes a powerful appeal to humanity."
