A Day in the Life of Anil Bagchi - Anil Bagchir Ekdin Regista: Morshedul Islam
In 1947, the British abandoned India. Coexistence between Hindus and Muslims was impossible. The consequence was a political and geographical split, with thousands of deaths and the transhumance of millions of people: Muslims fled to Pakistan and Hindus to India.
The peculiarity of Pakistan was the division between two territories more than two thousand kilometres apart: Pakistan and East Pakistan, now Bangladesh.
Despite having the same inhabitants, East Pakistan was ruled as a province, with limited power.
The film A Day in the Life of Anil Bagchi - Anil Bagchir Ekdin by director Morshedul Islam, screening at the 13th World Film Festival of Bangkok takes place during the Bangladesh war.
