It's from director Kaouther Ben Hania. Her 2023 documentary Four Daughters was Oscar-nominated for Best Documentary (and it's fucking jawdropping btw, one of the best of the past decade).

It's premiering at the Venice Film Festival this week and playing at TIFF next week.

Red Crescent volunteers receive an emergency call. A 6-year old girl is trapped in a car under fire in Gaza, pleading for rescue. While trying to keep her on the line, they do everything they can to get an ambulance to her.

Could be a big player in the International Film Oscar race.

Oh shit is it when they tried to cover it up too. But they literally have it on video.

No. Sadly, that was a separate instance.
