Tunisia: The Voice of Hind Rajab - Tunisian Director's Devastating Film About Palestine Is Up for an Oscar
The film portrays Hind Rajab’s final emergency call during the Gaza conflict and highlights the U.S. ban barring key Palestinian contributors from the Oscars.
- Three days left to the Oscars, Kaouther Ben Hania's The Voice of Hind Rajab is nominated for Best International Feature and she is expected to attend Sunday’s ceremony.
- Reenacting emergency calls in a Ramallah call centre, the film keeps Hind Rajab's voice alive as she is trapped in Gaza during conflict, reflecting bureaucratic delays .
- At its Venice premiere the film received a 23‑minute standing ovation and seven awards, anchored by a 90‑minute enclosed Red Crescent call‑centre setting.
- Actor Motaz Malhees cannot attend because President Donald Trump's travel ban blocks Palestinian passport holders; he wrote on Instagram, 'I am not allowed to enter the United States because of my Palestinian citizenship.' Wissam Hamada, Hind's mother, is also barred.
- The film's international acclaim and backers amplified attention, enabling Wissam Hamada to speak widely about Hind's death and humanitarian needs.
