This docudrama film by Tunisian director Kaouther Ben Hania centers around the killing of 6-year-old Hind Rajab by Israeli forces in Gaza City on January 29, 2024. The film reconstructs the final hours of Hind's life, centering her recorded phone calls to Palestinian emergency services as Israeli tanks surrounded the car in which she and family members were sheltering. Premiered at the Venice Film Festival and submitted as Tunisia's entry for the 2025 Academy Award for Best International Feature Film, this work is considered one of the first major international cinematic works to center a specific incident during Israel's genocide in Gaza. This film is recommended for educators, film studies researchers, and advocates using cinema as a tool for understanding the Palestinian civilian experience during Israel's genocidal war on Gaza.
