Mashrukur Rahman Khan
Mashrukur Rahman Khan is an independent documentary filmmaker based in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
As Cyclone Remal rages on the coast of patuakhali, the villagers are pushed to the edge to survive through the storm.
DIRECTOR'S NOTE
As Cyclone Remal approached, we arrived in Debpur village in Dhankhali Upazila, Bangladesh, and were immediately struck by the stark contrast between the official warnings of impending devastation and the villagers' apparent lack of preparedness. Over the following days, amidst the unfolding chaos, we documented the lives of individuals grappling with the imminent threat of destruction.This film captures the overbearing anxiety that grips entire communities in the face of an approaching cyclone. Through intimate encounters and candid interviews, we witness firsthand the resilience and fear of those directly in Remal's path. Their voices echo the overwhelming power of nature and the human spirit in adversity.
