Oscar®-nominated director Kaouther Ben Hania’s latest triumph, an innovative hybrid of drama and documentary, transforms the last recorded words of a six-year-old girl in Gaza into a vital act of remembrance.

This searing film blends documentary and fiction to recount a day in January 2024 where workers at the Palestine Red Crescent Society struggle to intervene in the preventable murder of Hind Rajab in Gaza. As the tragic events of the day unfold, they race to save her, all the while following the strictures of a complex protocol...

Ben Hania balances hope and helplessness on a tightrope, while honouring both the victims of violence and those who fight to protect them. This is essential filmmaking that cuts through the noise, capturing the human devastation at the heart of war - it is no surprise it received the longest-ever standing ovation at the Venice International Film Festival, where it also won the Grand Jury Prize.

The Tue 20 Jan 17:40 screening will be followed by a Thought in Action panel discussion.
