After weeks of controversy in India over its initial censorship of the film – which tells the real story of a 5-year-old Palestinian girl who was trapped inside a car attacked by Israeli forces in Gaza and later found dead – the CBFC has now granted 'The Voice of Hind Rajab' a so-called 'A' certificate.
'The Voice of Hind Rajab' has won a major battle against censorship in India after its theatrical release had been blocked for political reasons.
