She was such a light, so talented.
When you see the film youll understand, Farsi told Deadline.
She said, Ill come, but I have to go back to Gaza.
‘Put Your Soul On Your Hand And Walk’Sepideh Farsi
I dont want to leave Gaza, said Farsi.
I was already in touch with the French Embassy.
Wed just started the process.
I was worried about how to get her out and back in safely.
I didnt want to have the responsibility of separating her from her family.
Now the whole family is dead.
One of the sisters was pregnant.
On a video call two days ago, she showed me her belly.
Its so horrible and devastating.
Fatima herself had gotten engaged a few months ago.
Farsi says she now fears that Hassouna may have been targeted because of her photojournalism work.
I was trying to be a voice and accentuate her and now I dont know.
I even feel guilty… maybe they targeted her because the film was announced.
I know the whole family.
Its just so devastating.
We met Fatima Hassouna when we discovered Sepideh Farsis filmPut Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk.
Yesterday, we learned with horror that an Israeli missile targeted her building, killing Fatima and her family.
We had watched and programmed a film in which this young womans life force was nothing short of miraculous.
