Free film screening, with panel discussion to follow with Profs. Farha Abbasi, Waseem El-Rayes and Salah Hassan.

From the Academy Award–nominated director of Four Daughters comes the Academy Award-nominated The Voice of Hind Rajab, a cinematic testament to the courage of 5-year-old Hind Rajab and the emergency responders who tried to reach her.

An astounding cinematic achievement from Oscar-nominated filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania, The Voice of Hind Rajab, now an Academy Award nominee for Best International Feature Film, is a
powerful portrait of courage and humanity based on real call recordings of five-year-old Hind Rajab to the Palestine Red Crescent during the bombing in Gaza.
