bm184 Bangladesh, A Welcome Emergency
The few images you see in the international press paint a picture of protests in the streets and a goverment in crisis. Yet any real information about what is really happening in Bangladesh is rarely heard. In this program, with the help of my guest, documentary film maker and blogger Shafiur Rahman, we look at what is happening, why, and who is seriously effected. From the garment industry to government corruption.. there’s a lot to cover.
We Discuss:
– What life is like since the state of emergency
– What led to the current crisis
– Elections
– Economic factors
– The Garment industry, regulations and labor practices
– What should happen, who must act
– Shafiur’s documentary: Bostrobalikara - The Garment Girls of Bangladesh
His BLog, Imperfect World
The Tracks:
UTah Phillips - Natural Resources
Talib Kweli - Funny Money
Bhupen Hazarika - Kuli Ketekiye
