THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB - Don't miss the LAST SHOWING of this at the State Theatre for the final film in this season of TCFF Tuesdays!
Tuesday, May 19th @ 7 PM -- Doors Open @ 6 PM
This damning film tells the story of a single terrible day in Israel’s ongoing genocide against Palestinians. Set in 2024 in a West Bank emergency call center run by the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB features real-life calls between rescue workers & Hind Rajab, a 5-year-old little girl who was trapped in a car in Gaza City – and in Israel’s crosshairs. Everyone in the car has been shot dead. She is terrified, and alone – until her uncle helps dispatchers make contact with her. The film is an excruciating descent into the madness and futility of trying to follow international law while Israel flouts it. For instance, the rescue workers must get clearance from the Israeli military before sending an ambulance to Hind’s location; however, who will make them keep their promises? Certainly the film’s devastating real-life source material is shattering to witness, but it must not be ignored, explained away, or become commonplace. When THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB debuted at this year’s Venice Film Festival, it received a record-breaking 23-minute standing ovation and picked up ten awards, including the Golden Lion for Best Film. Since then, it’s been nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Non-English Language Picture, and was just named to the Oscars shortlist for Best International Feature.
