Put Your Soul On Your Hand.jpg

Offers an intimate, first-hand perspective on life under siege in Gaza, captured through video calls between director Sepideh Farsi and 25-year-old Palestinian photojournalist and poet Fatma Hassona. Combining 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. Her conversations with Farsi bring us into the heart of the conflict, even while their physical distance underscores the dire situation inside Gaza.
PUT YOUR SOUL ON YOUR HAND AND WALK is an essential document that now stands as a heartfelt memorial and final testament: Fatma and her family were tragically killed by a targeted Israeli airstrike on April 16, one day after the film was announced as a selection of the Cannes Film Festival.

PUT YOUR SOUL ON YOUR HAND AND WALK offers an intimate, first-hand perspective of life in Gaza, told through a series of video calls between filmmaker Sepideh Farsi and young Palestinian photojournalist Fatma Hassona. Their digital dialogue became a vital record, bearing witness to everyday life, loss, and acts of resistance amid escalating violence. Just a day after the film’s selection at Cannes, Fatma was tragically killed in an Israeli airstrike on her home. This heartbreaking loss deepens the film’s impact, which combines raw immediacy with profound humanity to portray the stark realities of daily life during conflict, seen through the eyes of those trapped in an endless cycle of war and living under siege.

About Hitchhiker's Theatre

Stories Told Anywhere

 

"All the world's a stage..."

...and yet, when we look around, theatre seems too often limited to stages in auditoriums. The mission of Hitchhiker's Theatre is two-fold: we will provide more opportunities for creatives to learn new skills and put their craft on display, and we will push the bounds of where theatre can be performed. When you have this mindset, any space becomes a theatrical one which is conducive, not just to creative outside-the-box storytelling, but a transformative outlook on the world around you.​​​
