Firsthand
"I heard an audio recording of Hind Rajab's call for help. Then I realized that I had to give up everything else. I had to make this movie. / ... / I cannot accept a world in which a child asks for help, and no one comes. This pain, this failure belongs to all of us. The story is not just about Gaza. It reflects universal woe. I believe that fiction (especially when it draws from verified, painful, real events) is the most powerful tool of cinema. Stronger than the noise of current news or the rapidity of scrolling the screen. The Film can preserve memory. The Film can counteract amnesia. Let Hind Rajab's voice be heard.”

Iz prve roke
“Slišala sem avdio posnetek klica na pomoč Hind Rajab. /…/ Tedaj sem nedvomno spoznala, da moram opustiti vse drugo. Morala sem posneti ta film. /…/ Ne morem sprejeti sveta, v katerem otrok prosi za pomoč, pa nihče ne pride. Ta bolečina, ta neuspeh pripada vsem nam. Zgodba ne govori zgolj o Gazi. Odslikava univerzalno gorje. Verjamem, da je fikcija (zlasti ko črpa iz preverjenih, bolečih, resničnih dogodkov) najmočnejše orodje kinematografije. Močnejše od hrupa aktualnih novic ali zamaknjenosti drsenja po zaslonu. Film lahko ohrani spomin. Film se lahko zoperstavi amneziji. Naj se glas Hind Rajab sliši.”
