Altitude has unveiled the trailer for The Voice of Hind Rajab, the powerful new film from Academy Award–nominated filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania. The drama, which has already won the Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize at Venice and more than a dozen international awards, will preview in select cinemas across the UK and Ireland from 28th November, ahead of its general release on 16th January 2026.

Starring an all-Palestinian cast including Saja Kilani, Motaz Malhees, Amer Hlehel and Clara Khoury, the film is inspired by a true story that captured global attention. On 29th January 2024, five-year-old Hind Rajab was trapped in a car under fire in Gaza. Her desperate call to Red Crescent volunteers, pleading for rescue, became a harrowing emblem of the human cost of conflict. Ben Hania transforms this real-life moment into a gripping, emotionally charged narrative that both honours Hind’s voice and serves as a rallying cry for remembrance.

The film moves between urgent realism and elegiac storytelling, focusing on Hind’s final hours and the efforts made to reach her. Preview screenings are set to coincide with the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People on 29th November.

With production support from the Palestine Red Crescent Society and a long list of executive producers including Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, Alfonso Cuarón, Jonathan Glazer, Joaquin Phoenix, and Rooney Mara, the film has attracted global attention both for its subject matter and for its striking cinematic approach. Its upcoming screening at the United Nations Headquarters in New York further underlines its growing significance on the international stage.
