India has blocked the release of "The Voice of Hind Rajab", a film about the killing of a five-year-old Palestinian girl by Israeli forces, the movie's distributor told AFP on March 21.
The Oscar-nominated docudrama by French-Tunisian director Kaouther Ben Hania recounts the real-life death of Hind Rajab in Gaza last year as her family attempted to flee during Israel's war with Hamas.
