Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk plot
A documentary about the ongoing slaughter of Palestinians in 2025. A miracle occurred when a filmmaker met Fatem through a Palestinian friend. Since then, she became his eyes in Gaza, surviving under the bombs and documenting the war. And Sepideh Farsi became her connection to the outside world, from her prison in Gaza. They maintained this lifeline for over 200 days. The bits of pixels and sounds they exchanged form this film. Fatem's murder on April 16, 2025, after an Israeli attack on her home, changed its meaning forever.

Exiled Iranian filmmaker Sepideh Farsi wanted to make a documentary about life in the Gaza Strip but was denied permission to film there. Through connections, she met Fatima Hassouna, a Palestinian journalist who shared photos of life in a largely destroyed area in Farsi. The title refers to Fatima's description of what it's like to walk outside knowing a bomb could fall at any moment. Farsi filmed the video calls with a second phone. The poor internet connection, intermittent sound, and both women's broken English are disruptive. However, this is the only way Farsi can convey what it's like to live in a war zone that Israel has largely closed off to the outside world.
