Israel's operations in Gaza have resulted in the deaths of over 170 Palestinian journalists, with the outside world only receiving fragments of information. A new documentary, "Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk," provides a poignant glimpse into life in Gaza through the story of Fatma Hassouna, a 24-year-old Palestinian woman. The film is shaped by the director, Sepideh Farsi's, personal connection with Fatma over a year, intertwining their lives. Farsi, an Iranian filmmaker, has her own traumatic experiences of conflict, which fuel her engagement with Gaza's plight amidst rising civilian deaths.
"Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk" seeks to open a window to the unfathomable suffering inside Gaza, focusing on the life of a young Palestinian woman named Fatma Hassouna.
The film's narrative is primarily shaped by the conversations between Fatma and the director, Sepideh Farsi, which develop into a strong personal bond over the course of a year.
Sepideh Farsi, an Iranian-born director, is compelled to act amidst the Gaza conflict, having experienced her own history of oppression during the Iran-Iraq war.
Aerial photographs that breach the veil of concealment reveal the horrors in Gaza, illustrating how the conflict obscures empathy by hiding its victims from the world.
