"Hollywood heavyweights are lining up to executive produce the Israel-Gaza war crime drama The Voice of Hind Rajab, including Brad Pitt, Joaquin Phoenix, Rooney Mara, Alfonso Cuaron, and The Zone of Interest director Jonathan Glazer."
"Rajab was a six-year-old girl killed by Israeli soldiers as she tried to flee Gaza City in a car with family. An initial shelling killed five family members in the car, but Rajab and a cousin survived and contacted Palestine Red Crescent Society, which dispatched paramedics. The cousin, the paramedics, and Rajab were later all found dead, and an investigation counted 335 bullet holes in the car. (Obligatory 'Israel claims it didn't have troops in the area,' though this was quickly disproven by satellite images and, you know, all of the bullets)."
"As The Hollywood Reporter notes, The Voice of Hind Rajab is based on recorded conversations between Red Crescent volunteers and Rajab during the attempted rescue. It is directed by Kaouther Ben Hania and will have its world premiere in competition at the Venice International Film Festival, before traveling to North America for the Toronto International Film Festival."
