Over 260 Children Killed Amid Iran Military Clashes; Exhibition on Suffering Draws Attention

On January 29, 2024, amidst the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, a family's vehicle on a refugee route was attacked. Hind, a six-year-old girl who was the sole survivor, pleaded for rescue amidst the gunfire. The Red Crescent, an Islamic relief organization that rushed to her aid, took five hours to obtain permission from the Israeli Ministry of Defense. Communication with rescuers was lost after the bombing, and twelve days later, the vehicle, riddled with 355 bullet holes, and the bodies of Hind's family were discovered. The actual rescue call audio was used in the film <Hind's Voice>, which is based on this true story.

Posters depicting a woman fighting bare-handed against a soldier armed with a rifle are propaganda for the Palestinian self-determination movement against Israeli forces. An Indonesian national with no prior connection to the Middle East discovered these posters and is exhibiting them in various countries.

Audiences who watched the film <Hind's Voice> said they experienced the war from a capitalist perspective but felt the suffering was well-expressed, intertwined with reality. The cries of the six-year-old girl on screen and the image of the woman confronting soldiers bare-handed in the posters remind us that those enduring the war are ordinary people like us.
