Saja Kilani Talks "The Voice of Hind Rajab" | Oscars 2026

Saja Kilani, star of The Voice of Hind Rajab, joins host Reshma Gopaldas to kick off the road to the Oscars with her film that's been short-listed for the Oscars. Kilani plays Rana, who is one of the Red Crescent workers who spoke to Hind on that fateful day. 

The Voice of Hind Rajab is based on real-life events where Red Crescent workers receive a phone call from 5-year-old Hind Rajab, who is trapped in a car under Israeli fire in Gaza. The film follows the devastating recordings of Hind's conversations begging for help. Writer and director Kaouther Ben Hania captures the archival audio in this gutting re-enactment. Kilani and Motaz Malhees play the two key rescue operators who speak to Hind.

The Voice of Hind Rajab is playing now in theaters in the US & UK.
