 Join us for a powerful evening of film and dialogue as the Social Justice Film Series continues. In April, the Palestine Israel Justice Team presents a screening that has captured the world’s attention and sparked a global conversation on human rights and accountability.
Event Details
The Film: The Voice of Hind Rajab This Oscar-nominated documentary documents the harrowing final hours of five-year-old Hind Rajab. After her family’s car came under fire, Hind found herself the sole survivor, surrounded by deceased family members. The film utilizes the actual recordings of Hind’s desperate phone calls to the Red Crescent. Despite workers spending three hours securing clearance from Israeli forces for a rescue, the ambulance was fired upon just as it reached her. The film documents not only Hind’s tragic death but also the killing of the medical team sent to save her. A Global Impact:
Navigating the Narrative The film has faced significant pressure from industry groups seeking to block its recognition. Critics argue the film lacks "context" regarding evacuation warnings or the events of October 7. However, the Palestine Israel Justice Team emphasizes that Hind and her family were civilians attempting to heed evacuation orders when they were killed. This screening provides a space to witness the human cost of conflict that often gets lost in political rhetoric. Following the screening, we will hold a facilitated discussion to process the film's message, explore the human cost of the conflict, and discuss the role of art in seeking accountability. About the Palestine Israel Justice Team Guided by UU principles, our team strives to inform and mobilize the First UU community to recognize and counter inequality and injustice. We are committed to supporting our allies in San Diego’s anti-oppression communities and firmly oppose all forms of racism, including anti-Muslim, anti-Arab, and anti-Jewish bigotry. We invite you to bear witness to this story and join the discussion afterward.
