About the film:
Hind Rajab, a 5-year-old Palestinian girl, is trapped in a car under heavy Israeli military fire in Gaza, the sole survivor of their brutal assault. Her emergency calls reach the volunteers of the Palestine Red Crescent Society, who desperately attempt to calm and rescue her. But their rescue attempts are repeatedly obstructed by Israeli military gunfire, checkpoints, and delays.
