36 July: Uprising in Bangladesh | Ep. 1 – I Am Razakar
After 15 years in office, Sheikh Hasina’s stranglehold on power starts to loosen. A grievous insult leveled at student protesters catapults a long simmering dispute over government jobs into a full fledged rebellion. When students take to the streets, the government deploys armed gangs to beat them into submission. It’s a tactic that has worked in the past, but this time the students are fighting back like never before.
