    The annual famine in Northern Bangladesh forces two farmers, Kholil and Gadu, along with several of their relatives, to leave their homes and go to work as seasonal laborers in the ship-breaking yards far to the south. Here, on the beaches of Chittagong, they dismantle the discards of the Western world -- decrepit oil tankers and enormous container ships, many of which harbor a vast range of perils, toxic and otherwise. These yards also trap their workers, as the seasonal workers who do the most dangerous work are also forced into an endless cycle of debt.
    Bangladesh, 2007, directed by Shaheen Dill; 85 minutes.

    The Traveling Film South Asia Festival, a three-day film festival, is composed of 13 documentaries covering such diverse topics as politics, art, culture, globalization, natural disasters, environment, gender, urbanization, labor relations, the Partition, entertainment and history and features films from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

    Sponsored by International Programs, Asian Studies and the I.D.E.A. Space.
