C'est une petite fille dont le cas tragique a bouleversé le monde : Hind Rajab avait 6 ans, des yeux noisette rieurs et de longs cheveux ondulés. Le 29 janvier 2024, elle se retrouve coincée dans une voiture bombardée par l'armée israélienne à Gaza. Le film «La Voix de Hind Rajab», qui mêle fiction et documentaire, relate ses longues heures d'attente pour obtenir du secours. Après La belle et la meute, l'homme qui a vendu sa peau et les filles d'Olfa, la réalisatrice tunisienne Kaouther Ben Hania porte à l'écran un crime de guerre tragique. Le 29 janvier 2024, Kaouther Ben Hania monte dans la voiture de ses oncles et tantes avec ses cousins pour quitter le quartier Tel al-Hawa de Gaza, quartier évacué par l'armée israélienne. Le 29 janvier 2024, cette voiture dans laquelle se trouve la fillette est la cible d'un tank. Tous les passagers sont tués, sauf Hind Rajab qui va, pendant de longues heures, implorer l'aide des secouristes du Croissant Rouge Palestinien.  Son histoire dramatique est devenue le symbole des atrocités commises à Gaza, un génocide des Palestiniens, a estimé la commission d'enquête du Conseil des droits de l'homme des Nations unies. Dans La Voix de Hind Rajab, qui sort sur les écrans français après avoir ému aux larmes les festivaliers de la Mostra de Venise, Kaouther Ben Hania reconstitue avec des acteurs le centre du Croissant Rouge Palestinien à Ramallah et fait entendre les véritables enregistrements audio des appels désespérés de la fillette.

Leon Purton strolled in for a chat in today's ep and we tumbled straight into that familiar territory you and I love... identity, leadership, masks, messy middles, self-belief, crucible moments, and why so many of us chase gold stars instead of growth. Leon unpacked how the Air Force shaped him, how a divorce cracked him open, how perfection cost him connection, and how he rebuilt himself by dropping armour instead of adding more. We danced through stories about boxing, leadership, values, and those little internal kids in us who just want a pat on the head. And mate… did we hit some big realisations about self-belief, surrender, stillness, and the weird way life forces you to grow in directions you never would’ve picked from the safety of your twenties. It was honest, warm, insightful, vulnerable, and bloody funny. A proper good yarn… I hope you love it!
