Documentary screening and Q&A with filmmaker Sepideh Farsi: Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk
4 February @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Internationally acclaimed Iranian film maker Sepideh Farsi will present her award-winning documentary Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk (112 mins) at LSE Law School.
The screening will be followed by a conversation between Sepideh Farsi and Gazan LLM student Dana Besaiso,who personally knew photojournalist Fatma Hassona—the protagonist of the documentary killed in Gaza in April 2025.
The event honours the nearly 300 journalists killed by Israeli attacks in Gaza since October 7. It will address the risks media workers take to document and report on conflict zones where daily violations of international law have become the norm, and how the targeted killing of journalists contributes to perpetrators’ impunity by erasing evidence of their crimes. Against this backdrop, the documentary acts as an archive for life, exploring themes of belonging, memory, and the power of bearing witness.
The screening and conversation will be followed by a Q&A with the audience.
Chair: Marie Petersmann (LSE Law School).
