‘Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk’ Review: A Stirring Chronicle of a Gaza Journalist Who Was Killed Before Its Cannes Premiere
The deceased Gaza journalist at the center of Sepideh Farsi’s documentary 'Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk' puts a face to the numbers.
Sepideh Farsi ’s documentary “ Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk ” follows 25-year-old Gaza photojournalist Fatma Hassona, a story of a woman under siege by constant bombing, made especially sobering by its circumstances. Her pictures of Palestinian death and survival, amid the rubble of bombed buildings, reveals a soulful command of shadow, composition and focus, which stands out in stark contrast to the blurry video chats. Hassona, in her broken English, narrates her life and daily circumstances, from her family being starved to the danger of falling bombs as soon as she walks out the door to her dreams of one day escaping Gaza and traveling to Rome.
