Farhana was absolutely fantastic! She is totally comfortable on camera. Incredibly
open and giving as she answered my questions or explained her story to me. This
is very good news since I only have this day to spend with her. Believe it or
not (I am even surprised)…I was able to get enough footage with her to make it
work. I filmed constantly…multiple interviews (lengthy)….multiple
locations….lots of b roll action of her working, moving around in the city,
shopping, traveling, interacting with friends and co-workers and also lots of
plain b-roll of the city itself. Plus I do also have some other footage of her
from my first visit to Dhaka, if needed. But I think we have it covered. And I
am thrilled!
Tomorrow the
next strike begins here and I have to get out of the country then or who knows
when I will get the chance to leave. Strikes here are a little different from
Nepal. Instead of road bombs they throw molotave cocktails at cars and crush
them with bats. Works in pretty much the same way though. People stay off the
road. More about the strike in the blog for tomorrow. Let’s just say…it was a
very interesting last night in Bangladesh. :)
