🎬NEW: Major Hollywood figures — Brad Pitt, Rooney Mara, Joaquin Phoenix, Alfonso Cuarón and Jonathan Glazer — have joined as executive producers of The Voice of Hind Rajab after viewing a recent cut of the film, just ahead of its Venice Film Festival world premiere. Directed by Tunisia’s Kaouther Ben Hania, the film recounts the killing of 6-year-old Hind Rajab and her family by Israeli forces in Gaza last year, incorporating her final calls for help to the Palestine Red Crescent. The project also has backing from Film4, MBC, and Pitt’s Plan B, alongside producers Jemima Khan and Frank Giustra. Venice director Alberto Barbera said it is among the titles expected to “most impress audiences and critics.” The film will also screen at the Toronto, San Sebastián, Busan, and London Film Festivals.
