THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB by Kaouther Ben Hania.

Accepted by Director Kaouther Ben Hania and Producers Odessa Rae and Nadim Cheikhroua.

Ben Hania told the room: "I will not take this award home. I leave it here as a reminder. And when peace is pursued as a legal and moral obligation, rooted in accountability for genocide, then I will come back and accept it with joy."
