Can't find a trailer. I think because it is likely not going to be distributed by anyone in the US. Just like the documentary, No Other Land, that won best documentary last Oscar's. But its still impossible to stream in the US. It's effectively banned

And I bet this will be too. Its apparently a dramatization of the last 24 hours or something of a girl named Hind's life. She was 7 or something and was in a car with her family when an Israeli tank shot the vehicle. Hind was the only survivor of that attack. She found a phone off one of her family members and called Palestine's version of 911. They sent medics to try to rescue her. She was trapped in the car and hurt I believe.

The ambulance got taken out by a tank too though. And never made it to her. Days later someone finally reached the car and Hind was inside, dead

This movie got praised at a film festival but I don't expect many Americans will be able to watch it

Oh. Its called

The Voice of Hind Rajab

A better video

Hind Rajab's story is just terrible. She deserves to be remembered. Respect to the film makers.

At this year's Venice Film Festival, no film has been more talked about than this latest project from Tunisian director Kaouther Ben Hania, which recounts the heart-shattering story of a six-year-old girl killed in Gaza, and received a record 23-minute standing ovation at the festival this week.

It isn't uncommon to hear cheers or boos at the end of a film festival screening, but when The Voice of Hind Rajab was shown to journalists and industry professionals at the Venice Film Festival on Wednesday, some far rarer sounds were heard. People were crying. Some of them were sobbing noisily, some were sniffling, some had red eyes, and almost everyone was too distraught to talk. The film is likely to prompt a similar response wherever it is shown. Later on in the day, at the festival premiere, it received what Deadline reported as a 23 minute-plus standing ovation, which it suggested may be a film festival record. It is now a hot favourite to pick up Venice's top prize, The Golden Lion, on Saturday, and it is almost certain to be nominated for the Academy Award for best international feature film.

Of course the US blocked it. Genocide deniers.

This is like a real documentary of Grave of the Fireflies.

About as sad, yeah.

I don't know if I could watch it but I am glad this movie exists. I hope it gets some release in the US.

It's about Hind Rajab right? I remember reading about her demise last year Sigh. Good on the film makers to create awareness

Similar to Anne Frank too.

That's why when we liberate places from empire we name them after Hind! Never forget!

Same. Pathetic that the US may not allow it to be distributed here.

There is no chance the US allows this film to be released.
