The Diary of a Refugee
Seen through his multiple visits over a period of five
years, this is the story of the filmmaker's vanishing
village and the uncertain future of his people
including his own sister.
Synopsis
A wild jungle of settlement for the Bengali refugees from East Pakistan in 1949, my village became a busy industrial hub in the 1980s, which brought my farming villagers regular earning and, thereby, uninterrupted meals.
Today, some 25 years later, my village is about to be engulfed by the ever-expanding boundaries of the land-hungry industries and in the direct line of fire stands my own sister as the industries surround her house on three sides.
