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.
