November 7, 2025, 5:30 PM, UGC De Brouckère
The Millenium Festival is delighted to announce that, in collaboration with UGC De Brouckère and Cinéart, it will host a special preview screening of the powerful film The Voice of Hind Rajab, which deeply moved audiences at the last Venice Film Festival. This shocking film is based on real events and authentic emergency calls recorded by the Palestinian Red Crescent. It gives a deeply human voice to the horror experienced in Gaza.
This event will be all the more special as the director, Kaouther Ben Hania, makes her one and only appearance in Belgium to present the film, followed by an exclusive Q&A with the audience.
SYNOPSIS
The genocide unfolding in Gaza compelled Kaouther Ben Hania to make her film with urgent immediacy. In The Voice of Hind Rajab, the filmmaker brings to life the desperate efforts of the Red Crescent workers to save the life of Hind, a six-year-old girl. A true story with universal resonance.
Kaouther Ben Hania: “I cannot accept a world where no one answers a child’s cry for help. That pain, that failure, belongs to all of us.”
