\n\tPut Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk provides \u201can intimate, first-hand perspective on life under siege in Gaza,\u201d captured through video calls between the director and 25-year-old Hassona.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cCombining raw immediacy with deep humanity, the film captures daily life during the conflict through the eyes and unwaveringly optimistic presence of Fatma, a talented photographer whose generation is trapped in an endless cycle of war, famine and resistance,\u201d notes a release. \u201cThe conversation between these two journalists brings us into the heart of the conflict, even while their physical distance underscores the dire situation inside Gaza.\u201d<\/p>\n
