Summary
Muktir Kotha (Words of Freedom) follows a group of projectionists who traveled throughout Bangladesh from 1996-1999, showing 'Muktir Gaan', a documentary on the '71 Bangladesh Liberation War. The film screenings prompted ordinary villagers to share their own stories of wartime suffering and resistance. Often the projection space would be spontaneously transformed into a folk concert. Through these interactions with village audiences, the young projectionist came to 'relearn' the wider history of the Liberation War, and the continuing struggle of ordinary people for a more just and democratic society
