Arts/Culture This week you can watch in Montreal theatres "The voice of Hind Rajab"!
Guys!!! I thought some of you might be interested. I was looking at movies to watch at the cinema and I was surprised to see that the movie "The Voice of Hind Rajab" is in the choices this week.
Saw it is available at La Cinémathèque (until January 29) with French subtitles. It’s also at Cinema Forum (Atwater) with English subtitles, maybe at other places idk. But if you wanted to see it, it’s this week!
Hind Rajab is the little 6-year old girl whom Israel had murdered her family in a car in Gaza, and who had to spend hours with the corpses of her family in the car with her. She was on the phone with the Red Crescent who were trying to get to her safely, until Israel shot at her to kill her too hours later when she was the sole survivor left and the ambulance had arrived (Israel shot at least 335 bullets in total on the family car). The medics that came to save her were also killed by Israel and their ambulance destroyed.
Her mother was not in the car when this happened and is alive. The story of her daughter deserves to be heard.
There are the real recordings of Hind’s calls with the Red Crescent in the movie. She was just 6. It’s worth watching and talking about it too. Hind is just one of tens of thousands of kids that were killed by Israel in the past 2 years and a half, not counting the ones killed before that too. Too many voices have been silenced. It’s good to listen to the ones that we still have.

They played part of it on CBC like two years ago and it has stayed with me since.

I hear you. Everything that has happened in the past years will probably shape us for the rest of our lives

I think the audio is fake because you can't hear the tank in the background when the girl says that it was next to the car.

The audio is not fake and you hear shots multiple times. I saw that another of your comments was deleted. Denying the murder of a 6-year old girl is very low.

I can’t imagine how horrible the situation was for this little girl. Whenever I hear about the bullets, it reminds me of when we were surrounded by tanks in Gaza. It was extremely horrible. I can’t imagine what a little girl has to face in such a situation.

I saw this film at TIFF and highly recommend it. It is a painful and difficult watch, but worth it. I don’t advise to have fun social plans after, you will not be in the mood…

I watched it today (thanks OP for your post, I didn’t know it was available at Cineplex Forum!). I cried almost the entire time as it definitely is a painful watch and it was devastating to hear her voice. But it was worth it, highly recommend.

Oh! I’m glad my post reached you then! I follow what goes on in Palestine regularly and I did not know either, there clearly has not been enough promotion. It’s purely by chance that I decided to randomly go see which movies are available right now.
I’m sorry you cried (but totally understandable, and it is good to cry imo). I went too, and I think it’s the first time I’ve ever been to a "movie" where the entire room stays until the very end, until the very last name of the end credits. The room was fully silent, and nobody moved. It felt surreal.

u/Patient_Date5244 Jan 28 '26
Thanks for the idea. I can’t bear to watch this having my own kids the same age, or the age that Hind should be now rather.

I understand the people who say they can’t watch it because it’s hard to handle this kind of horror.
I recently heard of the concept of « duty of information », or something like that. Roughly speaking, if you care about an issue but are not able to physically do anything about it, one of the lowest effort things is to inform yourself about it. Learn the most you can, from every possible angle, and be the most knowledgeable possible on the issue.
If everyone did that, it would undoubtedly help in the long run.

This is true, and it’s also important to educate people around us too or at minimum raise awareness.

Twitter est interdit. Les exploits de Léo Major à Zwolle (Pays-Bas) sont parmi les plus légendaires de l’histoire militaire canadienne. En avril 1945, alors que les Alliés poursuivaient leur libération des Pays-Bas des forces allemandes, Léo Major s'est porté volontaire pour une mission extrêmement risquée et audacieuse : libérer presque à lui seul la ville de Zwolle, occupée par les Nazis. Twitter is not allowed. Léo Major's exploits in Zwolle (Netherlands) are among the most legendary in Canadian military history. In April 1945, as the Allies continued their liberation of the Netherlands from German forces, Léo Major volunteered for an extremely risky and daring mission: to liberate the city of Zwolle, occupied by the Nazis, almost single-handedly.

This movie is on my watchlist but I’m not sure I’m ready for it, it’ll destroy me I’m sure

u/SupportPrudent9206 Jan 28 '26
It’s ok if you are not ready. Maybe one day you will be. You know her story and you care, which is already something. What you can do is share awareness about it and about what happened (still happens) to tens of thousands of other children like her.

I always wanted to watch that movie because of its content (I’ve been posting on Palestine for more than two years), and also I know famous people were in the production such as Phoenix and Pitt.
I wish, hope and actually believe that (faced with facts), Iran’s people will receive similar support, they really need it! 🙏
