FOUR STARS A young girl calls from a car, trapped in Gaza. She's surrounded by dead bodies, gunfire can be heard in the background. The Red Crescent is working to save her. DRAMA TUNISIA Arabic #HINDRAJAB Starring Saja Kilani, Motaz Malhees There’s a moment, early on in THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB where you realise the film has no intention of letting you look away.
