With startling audacity, Ben Hania has used the real audio recording of Rajab's heart-wrenching voice, while fictionally reconstructing the drama of the emergency responders in their call-centre office, with real people played by actors, talking, shouting and emoting in response to Rajab's actual voice. The result was greeted with a 23-minute standing ovation at Venice, about a quarter of the film's running time, with journalists and festival attenders reportedly sobbing in the auditorium.
