Bangladesh: Between Monsoon and Dry Season

This documentary visits the shifting silt islands of southern Bangladesh, where sandbanks along the Jamuna River appear and vanish with the seasons. It follows the people who live on these chars despite the monsoon floods that regularly submerge them. The film captures a precarious way of life shaped by one of the world's great rivers. It is an absorbing watch about resilience, geography, and communities living at the mercy of the water. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
