AroView: A stirring docu-drama focused on a team of ‘Red Crescent’ call-centre volunteers in the West Bank whose rescue efforts are constantly thwarted by bureaucracy and what looks suspiciously like conspiracy.
One has to deal with the ‘problematic’ exploitation of actual sound archives from an emergency call on Jan 29, 2024, but it’s all in noble service of bringing wider attention to an irrefutable, disturbing truth about the Israeli-Palestine ‘conflict’.
“Ben Hania lights a connective fuse between documentary and drama.” ~Sheri Linden, The Hollywood Reporter
“It is deliberately punishing material, channelled through unapologetic, galvanising film-making. Politicians should see it. Decision-makers should see it.” ~Kevin Maher, The Times
