In hold on to her, a collective hearing is portrayed: various activists, with or without papers, reflect on the brutal death of Mawda Shawri. The two-year-old girl was shot dead by a Belgian police officer in 2018 during a check and after a highway chase. The multilingual testimonies shared in Robin Vanbesien's simple but incisive film essay, result of his doctoral research in the arts, raise a dam against the impunity of an inhuman system.
