Put your soul on your hand and walkย is Sepidehโ€™s response, as a filmmaker, to the ongoing massacre of Palestinians. A miracle happened when director Sepideh Farsi met Fatem Hassona. Fatem became Sepidehโ€™s eyes in Gaza, where she resisted while documenting the war, and Sepideh became a link between herself and the world, from Fatemโ€™s “Gaza prison,” as she named it. The two maintained this line of life for almost a year. The bits of sound and pixel that they exchanged became the film that you see. The killing of Fatem on April 16th, 2025, due to an Israeli raid on her house, changes its meaning forever.
