Rising Silence

"If no one heeds your call, walk alone." This is the tagline of "Rising Silence", a 75-minute feature documentary by actor and writer Leesa Gazi. It follows 9 Birangona women, as they describe the unspeakable horrors inflicted on them during the Bangladeshi Liberation War in 1971. This heartfelt film won the best documentary award at this year's Dhaka International Film Festival. TRT World Correspondent Shamim Chowdhury sat down with Gazi to talk about why she pursued this story, how these strong-willed women dealt with being left to their fate and why nothing managed to dampen their spirits.

Leesa, Shaukat, others: here is some 💚 from India. We will rise, and we will love, and we will be free, and for that it is tremendously important that we tell our stories.

The woman in the blue sweater is talking in an insensitive idiotic matter. Is she pakistani?

[@shaukatislam3374]

Agree with you on her insensitivity.
Definitely not a Pakistani for sure..... but a person who is proud of her English.... and lacks emotion and a soul.

She is asking the right questions, she is a journalist, what are the insensitive questions she asked ?? to ask about their state of mind. Its sad to see the Bangladeshi forget these atrocities which happened to the women of their country. how inhuman were Pakistani's that time, to do it to the women of their own country. How do they even relate to islam, how do they even say they follow Allah/God.
