TRES TRISTES TIGRES

Migration can provide hope for escaping poverty. Yet many migrants know about the other side of that hope – suffering. Leaving behind their homes and families they submit themselves to the mercy of middlemen at home and employers in distant countries. Tens of thousands become indebted and impoverished as a consequence. This film tells the story of three men from the rural village of Rajbari, Bangladesh who travelled to the Middle East.

I co-produced this film which was directed by David Munoz
