The Voice of Hind Rajab premiered at the Venice film festival on Wednesday with chants of “Free Palestine” and a record standing ovation of nearly 24 minutes.
The film, directed by Tunisian filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania, tells the story of six-year-old Palestinian girl Hind Rajab who, along with her family and the EMTs who tried to save her, was killed by Israeli forces early last year.
