Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk
All of this will end,” that’s what Fatima said.
Watching this film was suffocating. I felt restless, angry, and heartbroken seeing people like Fatima and her family living through so much pain, yet still smiling and moving forward. They were brilliant, kind, and deserved a better world.

It’s unbearable to see how many still turn a blind eye or even defend the oppression that caused their suffering. No one should have to live like that.

Rest in peace, Fatima and her family. Thank you for letting the world witness your courage and strength.

“They do everything to erase our city, and to erase the remains from our minds.”

Sepideh Farsi’s documentary follows her video calls with Fatima, a young female Palestinian photojournalist living in Gaza who wishes for peace and joy, and remains hopeful and strong in times of destruction and death.

It hurts my heart that so many of the people in Fatima’s images are probably dead, and that herself, and her family, faced their own death in 2025, when they were killed by an Israeli airstrike. She is a testament to the humanity that lives on in Palestine; Fatima referred to coffee as the only thing that made sense in her life following the war. She wanted to visit Rome, and go to an amusement park. She wanted chocolate, and chicken, and to not live with such fear.

She was starving; “I miss everything. I miss my life. I miss the food that my mum used to cook.”

Fatima never made it to Cannes like she hoped, or to see Sepideh. May she rest peacefully, at last.

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

[7.5/10]

I just sit with a girl whose 8 y.o, and asked her "what do you want from life?" and she answered "I want to die." 😳😳

Témoignage d'une jeune palestinienne vivant a Gaza sous les bombardements fait par facetime.
Peut paraître long. Montre les différents échanges entre Fatma et la réalisatrice, aucune prise de partie extérieure (musique triste etc.), simplement appels des images de Gaza ou des flashs d'infos a la télé.

Bilan: Plus jamais je me plains de la prépa.

How do you feel being a Palestinian living in Gaza today?

I feel proud.
