A Heartbreaking Tribute

I saw 'Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk' at MIFF today and it floored me. This is one of the most heartbreaking and essential documentaries I've ever experienced - a devastating yet luminous portrait of Fatima Hassouna, a young Gazan photojournalist who filmed, documented, and lived with extraordinary courage right up until her life was so cruelly cut short. The film is a heartbreaking tribute to the human spirit, and Fatima will live in my heart long after the credits rolled.But I have to be honest: I'm deeply unsettled by the director's voice within the film. The contrast is jarring. Where Fatima radiates warmth, wit, and humanity, the director comes across as tone-deaf at best, heartless at worst. Some of her commentary is shockingly tone-deaf - casually asking if Fatima's daily reality might feel "like Covid", or laughing about whether she could come to Cannes, as if such frivolities weren't a world away from what this young woman was living through. It felt heartless, almost inhuman, and such a stark contrast to the gorgeous young soul we lost far too soon.And yet, despite this dissonance, Fatima's presence eclipses everything. Her laughter, her smile, her resilience, her eye for beauty amid unimaginable horror - these are the things that shine through. This is her film, her testimony, her legacy. It's painful, yes, but so important.

Heartbreaking Masterpiece Silenced by Violence

Put Your Sole on My Hand and Walk" is more than just a film - it is the soul of a people, a cry for freedom, and the legacy of a young, brave artist. Fatima, a 24-year-old filmmaker, poured her heart into this powerful story. Through stunning visuals and poetic truth, she gave voice to the silenced, reminding the world of the resilience of those who love their land.Tragically, Fatima and her entire family were killed by the IDF in Ga za. Her only "crime" was creating a film - a film that touched millions. This is not just a loss for cinema; it is a loss for humanity. Creative voices, innocent lives, and people who dare to speak through art should never be silenced with violence.We honor Fatima not only for her film, but for her courage. Her message is louder than ever. And even though she is no longer with us, her words, her vision, and her truth live on.Let this review be a tribute: You can silence a person, but you cannot kill an idea.
