Put Your Soul in Your Hand and Walk Trailer: A Heart-Wrenching Documentary Set for Release in 2025

      One of the most poignant documentaries of the year, Sepideh Farsi's *Put Your Soul On Your Hand and Walk* premiered at Cannes just weeks after the Israeli occupation claimed the life of the film's subject, 25-year-old Palestinian photojournalist and poet Fatma Hassona. The film is structured around dialogues between the director and Hassona through FaceTime conversations, offering insight into daily life under siege, serving as both a compelling testament to enduring terror and a powerful plea for the Israeli government to cease the destruction of innocent lives. Following its premiere at the NYFF and in anticipation of its release from Kino Lorber on November 5, the first trailer has now been unveiled.

      The official synopsis reads: “*Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk* presents a personal, first-hand view of life under siege in Gaza, captured through video calls between director Sepideh Farsi and 25-year-old Palestinian photojournalist and poet Fatma Hassona. Blending immediate rawness with profound humanity, the film portrays the daily realities of the ongoing war on Gaza through the eyes and unwavering optimism of Fatma, a gifted photographer whose generation is ensnared in a relentless cycle of war, hunger, and resistance. Her exchanges with Farsi draw us into the core of the conflict, even as their physical separation highlights the severe circumstances within Gaza. *Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk* serves as an important document that stands as a heartfelt tribute and final testament to Fatma’s life and creativity.”
