SPECIAL NOTE: The film, “The Voice of Hind Rajab” is available on Hulu and Netflix. After watching the film, Madison native, LisaAnn Trembath, had this to share with me: “I watched this movie knowing it would be tough, knowing I would weep, knowing I would despair. I was moved by some true spiritual gems: for example, the Red Crescent worker who helped Hind recite prayers to God from the Koran. I was torn apart by the moment when Hind said her family was not sleeping anymore, they were all dead. (What had to happen in her forming brain for her to understand this over the period of an hour or two?)

Why would I suggest anyone watch this movie? Several reasons. One - it really happened, and we can’t turn away from the evil that is being enacted by the Israeli military on innocent people in Gaza. Several forensic reports have been released since the incident went public, and there is no doubt of the accuracy of the story. Two - we see the power of faith and prayer and goodness in the rescue workers, and in little Hind as she prays to God for rescue. Three - we can lament together the loss of the tens of thousands of children’s lives by examining one story of one little girl. Four - there is a painful beauty in true art, and this film is artfully made and should be widely seen.”
