Full Description

From February 2007 to October 2009, I have visited most effected southern districts of Bangladesh. I talked with a huge number of climate victims in many places, sorted considering the different parameters and effects like flood, storms, salinity, sea level rights, erosion etc.  I have tried to discover, along with natural and environmental changes, how the life changing. I was surprised to know that parallel to international community the local policy maker also try to explain the “poverty for climate change” as “economical poverty”.  I was surprise to see the local reality, how gravely the poor are becoming poorer, marginalized are becoming more marginalized.  But crude reality, grassroots victims do n’t why the climate is abruptly changing! Why frequently flood and storms are attacking them. Most of victims it’s a curse of natural curses! They don’t have any objection! They don’t have resentment!

However Bangladesh has been identified one of most vulnerable climate change victim country of the world. The main objective of the documentary is to present the Bangladeshi reality in the global stage that international community can taken initiative and effective policy implementation to save the climate victims as well as our lovely planet.
