Deshantori (The Migrant) -- A Production of StoryTailors http://www.deshantori.com/ Duration: 69 minutes Concept and Produced by Mridul Chowdhury Directed by Sujan Mahmud and Mridul Chowdhury
The film develops around the story of the journey of 26 Bangladeshis who tried to migrate to Spain through the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean Sea in 2005 (and in the end forced to resort to cannibalism to stay alive) and explores the deep frustrations of today's young generation of Bangladesh and also at the same time their infallible national pride and optimism.

Blessings, greetings and a heart full of gratitude to make such a film and for taking such an initiative. All my respect for the creators for offering us such an eye opening piece of documentary. THANK YOU!
Maybe the destination of the Bangladeshi migrants wont change soon...but isn't it a big achievement dat 1 of the members of our new generation, who doesn't even know the meaning of our independence or patriotism...took this initiative to make his fellows looking back to their own root? Be4 knowing bout the movie I've become frustrated and began to leave all my hope for this genrtion. Blessngs 4Mridul n his frnds not only 4 making such kind of movie..but also 4 lovng his country in n effctve way!
No significant change is feasible in the near future in Bangladesh that will change the destination of these migrants. The country is serious, seriously overpopulated with very very limited resources. If you apply the demand and supply concept, you will find that these people are full of false hope; hope that will never materialize. Most of the people who are commenting here are successful migrants themselves and watching this trailer from the comfort of their adopted countries!
