“A TALE OF BLOOD”
Throughout the ages, people in all countries of the world have been forced to leave their homes for political reasons. In the Great Liberation War of 1971, millions of people of Bangladesh migrated from their homeland for liberation, for the first time they were identified as political refugees. After the brutal assassination of the Father of the Nation on 15 August 1975, thousands of freedom fighters and many politically Awami League followers had to accept refugee life again. Our film is made to remember the precarious lives of those countless fatherless patriotic political refugees.
