Film Showing & Discussion: Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk
Saturday, September 26th, 6 p.m.
This extraordinary film (Arabic: ضع روحك على يدك وامشِ) is a 2025 documentary directed by the Iranian filmmaker, Sepideh Farsi, whose films are banned in Iran. In 2024 she tried to enter Gaza to report first hand on the massacre, but she was stopped at the Egyptian border.
She then connected with Fatma Hassona, a photo-journalist who lived in Gaza whose images featured the lives of the people living under conditions of bombing, starvation and war.
Their year-long conversation on video calls in this film exposes life in Gaza during the genocidal U.S. backed Israeli assault on the Palestinian people.
On April 15th, 2024, Sepideh called Fatma to tell her their documentary would be screened at the Cannes Film Festival. The next day Fatma and 9 members of her family were killed by a targeted Israeli strike while they were sleeping. Since the start of the war on October 7, 2023, Israel has killed 259 media workers, 210 of them Palestinian journalists inside Gaza. (Committee to Protect Journalists)
The director, Sepideh Farsi lived in Iran under the rule of the Shah and was locked up in prison for her political activities. She said, “This film is a window, opened through a miraculous encounter with Fatem. Offering glimpses of the ongoing massacre of the Palestinians,” “She has become my eyes in Gaza, and I, her connection to the outside world."
