A year or so ago, I was listening to my iPod in an auto-rickshaw when I heard this song by Jimmy Cliff. I felt it resonated with some of the sad sights around me, and I often left it on repeat. Eventually I decided to make a video. This one will be followed by a second, again featuring Jimmy Cliff – “Wonderful World, Beautiful People.” This video presents one side of Bangladesh in 2012, but it’s important not to just leave it at that. But I do hope it conveys the levels of suffering many Bangladeshis face on a daily basis. Development in almost every sector is critical.
