Bangladesh: Between monsoon and dry season | DW Documentary

In southern Bangladesh, silt islands along the Jamuna River regularly appear and disappear. These ‘chars‘ are populated, despite the fact that they are completely flooded during the monsoon season.
Part of the great river Brahmaputra, the Jamuna river sees the emergence and disappearance of these ‘chars’ every year. The people who live here are known as the Chauras, and they have organized their lives around rise and fall of the waters. They go about their agricultural work and live in small communities, always knowing that everything they have built up can be destroyed with the coming of the monsoon season.
The film also documents the dry season, when the river Jamuna recedes, leaving long white sand beds and new islands of fertile soil. Chaura Rahim Shorkar has plenty to do now and hopes to harvest the crops in time for the next flood.
Rahim does not want to trade his life here for one on the mainland. His wife Alea, however, takes a more critical view. What future do they have here? What future awaits their six-year-old son Ashik?
At any moment, they could face the same fate as their neighbor Shuruz Saman, who has been hit for the sixth time in his life. All his fields and land have been swallowed up by the water and once again, making a new start costs him his entire savings.
All the Chauras know this suffering. They all help each other, lending a hand when the corrugated iron walls of their houses need to be moved again because of the waters. Life here is not easy and will not get easier. On the contrary, climate change is set to intensify the extremes of the monsoon and dry seasons.

    Firstly, I want to express my gratitude to DW for creating such an extraordinary documentary about the wilderness of Bangladesh. This documentary accurately portrays the true spirit of the people of Bangladesh. Despite countless adversities, the people of Bangladesh remain cheerful, always hopeful of a better future. They perceive challenges as blessings, and they conquer fear. A young boy from a rural area can dream of starting a company, even in the face of limited resources. A person can step forward to help another without being asked. What I'd like to emphasize is that we have learned to cope with the adversities of nature, but we are still struggling to adapt to the adversities created artificially. I'm not sure whether we'll be able to or not. Prominent among the artificial adversities are floods artificially caused by neighboring countries and global warming on an international scale. Please do not impose artificial disasters on us. We have, by the grace of God, the ability to overcome natural calamities. We are children of nature; nature governs us and in return, nature loves us, sacrificing itself for us. Thank you again for presenting Bangladesh so beautifully to the world.

I am from Bangladesh and the only chauras I met in person were those who lost their land due to land erosion and then came to the city looking for work- they are desperately poor and miserable. But this documentary portrays resourceful contented people who have at least some education and also aspiration. The little boy’s playfulness, the young man’s ambition, the couple’s disagreement, the lady’s insight into the importance of education- all of these are exceptionally endearing. Thanks to DW.

    Bangladesh's climate, agriculture, and daily life are profoundly influenced by its distinct monsoon and dry seasons. The monsoon season brings copious rainfall, essential for agriculture, yet it also presents the challenge of floods. Conversely, the dry season offers relief from heavy rains, enabling diverse farming techniques and providing an opportunity to relish cooler temperatures and partake in cultural festivities. Above all, I hold a deep affection for my exquisite motherland, Bangladesh. 🇧🇩 🇧🇩 🇧🇩

    Each year during school's summer vacation I used to visit my maternal grandparents for a whole month who used to live in char area. At this point of time dry land gets flooded by the mighty river Brahmaputra which brings enormous joy by seeing waters around for a kid like me living in town with every comfort of modern life. Kerosine was then the only medium for lighting after darkness (no electricity) .The memories and experiences i had from the people and that place will be treasured for lifetime. Char peoples are the most hardworking, purest and humblest human beings on earth. Mark my words😊

The most charming thing is that wherever they are, wherever they go, they don’t forget that Education is the backbone of a nation.They rebuilt school 10x times to educate their children.The help each other & what a wonderful humanity is this! They are the ture Bengalis, they are the real tiger & tigress of Bay of Bengal. No matter what happens they don’t lose hope and their smile on their face...I really enjoyed while watching this prettiest documentary and couldn’t think of anything else!❤

    This Documentary could be a tale. I cant express how beautiful I find the Nature, the People, their culture. Its incredibly wholesome. Its also a perfect summary of human existence - we all strive for security, for permanence. But being honest with ourselves, nothing is permanent. These people only witness that in a shorter, more direct cycle. They seem to have accepted that. It takes constant rebuilding. But they seem rather happy to me. I wish them all the best and want to share Tons of Love, from the other end of the World!

    First of all thanks to DW for making a great documentary ! The "Char" (alluvium) refers to sediments deposited in rivers, which are permanent or temporary in some areas. People who live on "Char"(pastures) are called 'Chaura' in a pejorative, - much like slang! The "Chaura" as an adjectives commonly used by upper class people to address lower class people to undermine them. 'Chaura' is one such greeting ! I think, DW will understand and take this core message into consideration. Addressing the people living in "Char" (pastures) as "Charbasi" (চরবাসী- who live in char) is a respectful epithet. Thank you!
