Teardrops of Karnaphuli (60 min)
Bangladesh, 2005, Directed by Tanvir Mokammel
The Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) is home to twelve predominantly Buddhist ethnic groups who are collectively known as the “Jumma” nation. The first disruption of the peace in CHT took place from 1959-1962, when a dam was constructed on the Karnaphuli river, submerging 54,000 acres of arable land and making refugees of 100,000 people in the process. These hill people suffered a second crisis in 1979 when the government brought plain land Bengalis from various districts and settled them in CHT.
