The Denman Island Palestine Solidarity Group will be hosting a screening of “The Voice of Hind Rajab” on Sunday, May 24th at 2p.m. at the Denman Community Hall. This Academy Award nominated film tells of the last hours in the life of 5 -year -old Hind Rajab and her extended family as they try to evacuate from Gaza during the ongoing genocide.
In an interview with Amnesty International, Hind’s mother, Wesam Hamada talks about her daughter and why she feels compelled to keep Hind’s memory alive. When asked what does it mean to her to have Hind remembered in this way, she replied, ” The film represents not only Hind’s story, but the stories of thousands of children in Gaza. More than 20,000 children have been killed in Gaza. The film documents this crime. And this documentation will be there for generations to come.” To read her full interview go to https://www.amnestyusa.org/blog/wesam-hamada-i-want-to-keep-hinds-voice-alive-because-hers-is-the-voice-of-all-the-children-of-gaza/
Amid ongoing efforts to discredit Francesa Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories and Karim Khan, Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) watching this film is a small act of resistance. Supporting the work of those who refuse to be silent is necessary if we are going to stop the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.
The film is a docu-drama that uses audio from the 911 calls between Hind and members of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society trying to rescue her. For those wishing to debrief there will be a sharing circle after with light refreshments. This film is not suitable for children. This event is by donation with all proceeds going to the Hind Rajab Foundation.
The Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF) was established to honour the memory of Hind Rajab and all those who have been killed or suffered under the genocide. To this end the HRF has filed criminal complaints and cases at the ICC and in several countries. For those who wish to donate but cannot attend go to
