Anthony L Nov 19 The directors questioning left the lot to be desired. Using a phone to record her video calls instead of just screen recording. That being said, heartbreaking. To watch her say her dream is to travel the world to then less than a year later here biggest dream was to taste chicken and chocolate again.

However, the execution is difficult to overlook. The director’s questions often feel naïve and out of place, undermining the gravity of the story rather than deepening it. Most troubling is her attempt to draw parallels between the catastrophic reality in Gaza and her own narrative of Iranians in exile. The comparison feels profoundly misguided and lacking in self-awareness, given the stark differences in lived experience. The inclusion of questions about the hijab is also puzzling, as they seem irrelevant and distracting. Ultimately, the film comes across less as a thoughtful portrayal of its subject and more as an imposition of the director’s perspective onto someone else’s tragedy. The result feels tone-deaf and ethically questionable. See more Steve B @Film_Man Feb 26 ​Watching Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk is a harrowing exercise in heartbreak. We see Fatma Hassona not as a statistic, but as a young woman whose smile is a source of pure, uplifting joy. Her desires are agonisingly simple, to walk in nature or to taste a single piece of chocolate.Yet we watch that optimism erode under the agonising weight of forced starvation and the dwindling access to clean water. This is not just the collateral damage of war; it is the systematic destruction of every building, an attempt to erase the very existence and memory of the Palestinian people from their land. To witness her light dim before the murder of her and her entire family is to confront the most brutal question of our time: what sort of world allow such beautiful vibrant innocent souls to be killed?
