Oscar-nominated director Kaouther Ben Hania blends actual recordings and scripted performances to tell the devastating true story of Hind Rajab, a Palestinian girl trapped in a car under Israeli military fire, and the first responders who tried to save her.

On January 29, 2024, Red Crescent volunteers in Gaza received a desperate call from a family trapped in a car under Israeli military fire. Moments later, only six-year-old Hind Rajab remained on the line, begging to be rescued. As paramedics had been killed in the area days earlier, the Red Crescent was forced to navigate a maze of military and governmental approvals before a rescue attempt could even be considered. Hind stayed on the call, scared and alone, as dispatchers tried to help.
