This event will start by screening a 67 minute film about an indigenous Mro girl, Domra, living in the hills of south-east Bangladesh.

UPDATE: After the screening we will have a discussion on the topic and also focus on the current situation in Bangladesh. We will end the event with a vigil remembering all the victims of the recent state oppression in Bangladesh. Note that there is currently an internet blackout in Bangladesh, due to which it is very difficult to get in touch with people there.
