Exiled Iranian filmmaker Sepideh Farsi said Hassouna's death is a 'terrible loss' AFP Filmmaker Sepideh Farsi is still in shock after an Israeli air strike killed her documentary's main subject, 25-year-old photojournalist Fatima Hassouna, in Gaza last month. "Why would you kill someone and decimate an entire family just because she was taking photos?" she told AFP ahead of her film's premiere at the Cannes Festival Thursday.
