Editorial Reviews

Review
In all, the documentary not only deals with a serious issue and urges the much awaited recognition of this community, but also brings back to life the images of history. The cinematography of the documentary is brilliant. Effortlessly, as Mokammels lens captures each alley, homes, expressions of Biharis across Bangladesh and flashbacks of history- it pulsates with the lingering emotions of not just Biharis but also those who lived through the periods of genocide and more. --Tahmina Shafique, New Age Extra, Jan 18-24, 2008
