PAINTING DHAKA

"Painting Dhaka" takes us into the slums of Bangladesh and asks a question: How do we really see a country known for corruption?

What begins as a film about a graffiti workshop for kids in Dhaka's poor areas turns into a deeper look at Bangladesh's real issue: a rich elite benefiting from the country's poverty. Central to this story is the state-owned Bangladesh Railway.

This movie explores themes of power and feeling powerless, and how to break free from both. It's also a touching story about the amazing impact of art.
