Planet Rock: Bangladesh Episode One My travels through the country of Bangladesh and my extensive stay in the capital city of Dhaka. Bangladesh is one of the most populated countries in the world according to square mileage. Total estimated population 118 million. Density of population per sq. mile is 7656. Part 1. The Words of a Rickshaw Driver Bangladesh is considered the 'Rickshaw Capital of the World'. There are an estimated 500000 to 750000 Rickshaws in the capital city Dhaka. As I was filming a piece a paper fell from a Rickshaw... this is what it read... The Call to Evening Pray in Dhaka There are about five calls to pray everyday... the first one is at 5:30am and the last is around 5:30pm. Find River Find Village Give Camera While filming my travels I am followed by dozens of children curious about what I am doing and why I would want to take pictures of their world. This time I let them do the filming... of course, after a few quick lessons. With the help of my uncle and a chartered boat we try to find the future directors of Bollywood. Salim, Sayden, Azir Muhammad and their posse show me and film the village of Derma Dhat (Ghat) It's amazing what children can do... Part 2.

Lama 2 Alikadam [05:03]
Bangladesh is the land of natural beauty and fertility attracts various people with numerous aims. While traveling towards the eastside of the country more specifically AliKadam, Lama of Bandarban district our eyes were overwhelmed by the beauty of the site as well as little disappointed with current environmental situation of the area. We were travelling through the uneven road on the traditional 'Chander Gari' and saw all the flat lands around the foot area of Mirinza hill, the land beside the road from lama to ali kadam; even in the playing ground of Modujhiri govt. primary school and as far as we can see the bank of Matamuhuri River were covered with tobacco farming.

For example, if they take BDT 10000 for one tobacco season (6/7 month), they have to return 15000 ...
