The public is invited to attend the official screenings of the Academy Award-nominated docufilm The Voice of Hind Rajab in Newcastle.

On January 29, 2024, Red Crescent volunteers received an emergency call. A five-year-old girl was trapped in a car that was under fire from Israeli forces in Gaza, pleading to be rescued. As they tried to keep her on the line, the volunteers did everything they could to get an ambulance to her.

Her name was Hind Rajab.

Award-nominated film tells Hind’s story

The film received a 23-minute standing ovation at its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival. It was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best International Feature Film, as well as awards at the Golden Globes and the BAFTAs.

Social Intifada is honoured to serve as the official South African partner for ‘The Voice of Hind Rajab’, with Islamic Relief South Africa serving as the official charity partner.
