This month, we’re screening Char... No-Man's Island (2012), directed by Sourav Sarangi, a documentary that takes place on an island between India and Bangladesh. Fourteen-year-old Rubel ferries sacks of rice across the border under the cover of night. Rubel’s family, along with hundreds of others displaced by erosion, built new homes on this barren island now controlled by border patrols.
The documentary is available to stream from 1 March (Sunday) to 8 March (Sunday).
