A number of the most prominent Hollywood stars, including Brad Pitt, Joaquin Phoenix, Ronnie Mara, Jonathan Jezer, and Alvonso Cuaron, joined the production team of the movie “Voice of Hind Ragab” by Tunisian director Kawthar Ben Haniyeh as implemented producers, enhancing the presence of the human drama that takes place in Gaza before its first global show at the Venice Film Festival on September 3.
The tragedy of the child Hind
The film regains the last hours of the six -year -old girl, Hind Ragab, who called in January 2024 the Red Crescent volunteers from inside a shot car after the Israeli forces opened fire on her family while trying to escape from Gaza City. Despite her continuous attempts to seek help, she was later found dead inside the car.
Records reveal the truth
The film is based on the audio recordings that documented the desperate calls of Hind asking for rescue, while Israel initially denied the presence of forces in the region. However, independent investigations by the Washington Post and Sky News confirmed the existence of Israeli tanks at the site at the time of the incident, which strengthens the Palestinian novel.
Cinema as a memory of resistance
Director Kawthar Bin Haniyeh confirmed in statements: “I cannot accept a world in which a child asks for help and does not find someone to respond. Cinema is able to preserve memory and resist forgetfulness. ” Bin Haniyeh stressed that the film is not only an artistic work, but a testimony on a tragic moment that should not be forgotten.
Gaza is attending at the Venice Festival
The 88th Venice Film Festival opened this week with a familiar Hollywood atmosphere, but the Gaza tragedy cast a shadow on the red carpet and outside it. Prisoners of supporters of the Palestinians gathered in Lido, demanding the end of the massacre committed by the Israeli occupation, while the filmmakers and artists were keen to shed light on the enemy of the Palestinians, so that the cinematic occasion turned into a resistance and collective memory platform.
