I don't think this film is about religion, it's about hardworking women who are succeeding on their own terms.

Really appreciate these B'deshi women, they have an incredible story that transcends inequality issues.

Women entrepreneurs in Bangladesh are great!

it has everything to do with that filthy religion...if you think islam is beautiful, then you are blind.

the fact you cannot see that your dirty filthy religion is allowing men to have dominance and power over women shows how blind you are...

get it into your thick head, islam is only for uneducated, unhygienic fools.... until you get rid of it... your country will always be full of uneducated useless people and your men will always dominate women.

@AdvocatusDiaboliAU

The "filthy religion" you are referring to is that of men taking the Qur'an and twisting all of it to suit their own needs. If you look at the fundamental facts of the Qur'an, women are told to take care of their husbands, but husbands also have to treat their wives as equals.

If you want to blame someone for this oppression of women, blame these men -- not the religion. Please get your facts straight.

Btw - I'm not even muslim. Why are you saying that it is "my" country?

@Nymphirion

sorry, i just assumed you were from bangladesh.... but since your an argie..... catholism and all types of christianity is filthy as well..

i think you are in desperate need of an education.... if you really think that its not religion that is the cause of the inequality of women, then its just proof that you just have not bothered to read the bible or the quran

[Nymphirion]

@AdvocatusDiaboliAU What is an argie? (I'm not catholic or christian either, btw... please stop making assumptions)

And, regardless of what you say, I think it is what people make of the religion and their respective holy books, that causes discrimination... not the religion itself. Think about it!

@Nymphirion

an argie is an argentinian which is what your profile says you are

if you think religion is beautiful, then it means you are uneducated...

it means you havent bothered to actually read any of the "holy" text...

it IS the religion that causes the problem, when they act like fuckheads, they point to the bible or quran to justify their atrocious acts.... so its the RELIGION thats fucked. without the "holy" books they would be commited to an mental asylum

[AdvocatusDiaboliAU]

get rid of your filthy religion, and women might have a chance

[Nymphirion]

@AdvocatusDiaboliAU

What the hell does this have to do with religion? The religion happens to be very beautiful.

What is preventing women from being more independent is the fact that most men have power over there... and a lot of these men have the old belief that men have more power/dominance over women. These guys have to change their thinking, before women are able to have a chance in that society.

I really hope it happens soon =/

Fanatstic work.. keep it up... :-) I think the UK B'deshi population which are largely from this area, could contribute to a fund that assists women and economically challenged individuals in sylhet. This could allow them to get a foothold in business and then excel in thier respective trades with the right backing... Its EASILY doable.... we're talking about relatively small sums.. £200 loans etc..
