The feature documentary offers an intimate, first-hand perspective on life under siege in Gaza, captured through video calls between Sepideh Farsi and young Palestinian photojournalist Fatma Hassona, who was tragically killed in an airstrike on her home just one day after the film’s Cannes selection was announced. Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk portrays daily life during the conflict through the eyes of a generation caught in an endless cycle of war and living under siege.
