Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania blends the actual phone recordings, which went viral several weeks after this incident, with dramatizations of the emergency workers racing against time, and the situation’s emotional impact, to coordinate paramedics who could save her.
Director Ben Hania writes, “Violent images are everywhere on our screens, our timelines, our phones. What I wanted was to focus on the invisible: the waiting, the fear, the unbearable sound of silence when help doesn’t come. Sometimes, what you don’t see is more devastating than what you do. At the heart of this film is something very simple, and very hard to live with. I cannot accept a world where a child calls for help and no one comes. That pain, that failure, belongs to all of us.” Winner of the Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival. Tunisia’s Official Submission to the 98th Academy Awards.
