Storyline
Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk is a response of Sepideh Farsi as a filmmaker to the ongoing massacre of the Palestinians. The personal way not to lose her sanity. A miracle happened when she met Fatem through a Palestinian friend. Ever since, she became her eyes in Gaza, while surviving under the bombs and documenting the war. And Sepideh Farsi became her connection to the outside world, from her Gaza prison, as Fatima Hassouna puts it. They kept this line of life going for more than 200 days. The bits of pixels and sounds that they exchanged constitute the film that we see. Fatem's assassination on April 16, 2025, following an Israeli attack on her home, has forever changed its meaning. — L'ACID
