Voice of Bangladesh

Documentary “Voice of Bangladesh" dedicated to the people of Bangladesh.

The idea of this documentary was to give voice to the people living in the shifting nothern river islands, known as “Chars” in Gaibandha and also to show the wonderful and important work executed on the field by the NGO Friendship. It was a great experience and a big adventure for me. Also, I was really impressed and touched by the people of Bangladesh.

These are some general impressions of my trip in Bangladesh.

What can I say about my trip ?
In Bangladesh especially in the chars of Gaibandha, I rediscovered all the things I thought we had lost: the joy of life, the innocence, the simplicity, the human warmth, the authenticity, peace, space and freedom … or almost. It’s like I found back the human being.
How did I feel during my trip?
Sometimes I felt like Robinson Crusoe especially on the chars, sometimes like an adventurer, sometimes like a star making selfies with the local people, sometimes I felt like turning back in time, sometimes being on an other planet, sometimes being like in a dream, sometimes I was lost in translation and ….sometimes I missed my spaghettis.
To resume, Bangladesh is a wonderful country … I have never met such franc, kind and hospital people like the Bengalis.
And what great workers ! They made me often think of ants ... I saw everywhere legs, hands and fingers of men, women, young and old … but also of kids … and that put some tears in my eyes.
Yes, I will never forget all these beautiful and intense moments and faces.
Now I am a rich man.
