CASA (the Committee for At-risk Scholars and Artists) will have a virtual showing of the documentary, The Ice Cream Sellers. The 2021, award winning film tells the story of two Rohingya siblings as they sell ice cream in an effort to free their father from prison in Myanmar. The film Ayas (10) and Asia (8) across their hot and dusty refugee camp in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. This award winning film reminds us of the challenges the Rohingya refugees continue to face as refugees living in Bangladesh.
Sohel Rahman, the filmmaker, will join us after the showing to answer questions and discuss his ongoing work with the Rohingya refugee community.
This is a neat opportunity to learn about the challenges that confront Rohingya refugees daily, as well as film making and ethnographic methodologies.
Please join us for this special showing sponsored by CASA, the Department of Anthropology, the Department of History and the Department of Germanic Languages & Literatures.
