Documentaries at OT301

This Tuesday, May 20th, yours truly is presenting two documentaries at the former film academy known as OT301. Both documentaries are related to Bangladesh; the first being about the stateless Bihari people, who live in Bangladesh since before the country existed, but are not considered citizens. This film focuses on how this came to be, as well as what life is like for the millions who live in camps since the 1970's.

The second film focuses on the women who work in the garment industry of Bangladesh. Quality of life, work conditions, and big labels are among the topics covered by this film.

Films start at 8:30pm, on the second floor of OT301, which is located at Overtoom 301, right next to Vondelpark. Entry is 4 euro and you'll get to meet me, since I'm organizing it on behalf of a friend who worked on both films.
