‘Testimony of a Thread’ 
to be screened tomorrow

Marking the sixth anniversary of Rana Plaza tragedy (24 April, 2013), a special screening of young filmmaker Kamar Ahmad Simon’s documentary film titled ‘Testimony of a Thread’ will take place tomorrow at 6pm at Goethe-Institut auditorium in the capital’s Dhanmondi area.   
Goethe-Institut Bangladesh is organising the film screening in the month of April every year, after its making so far, after the tragedy.
In a globalising world, seeking more and more cheaper labour every day, Bangladesh became one of the leading producers in the world clothing industry. In only four decades, it became a 25 Billion US$ export industry, directly engaging 4 million workers, mostly women… and now targeting to double it by 2021 with 50 Billion US$ export! ‘Testimony of a Thread’ explores the connecting worlds of hope and despair around this industry lately marked for man-made catastrophes like Savar Building Tragedy (2013), considered as the deadliest garment-factory accident in history and deadliest accidental structural failure in modern human history.
Following the screening, the Q&A session with the director will also be held which will be moderated by renowned writer Sumon Rahman.
The screening is free of cost and open to all.

Where: House 10, Road 9 (new), Dhanmondi R/A
When: 6pm, tomorrow
