Wheels of hope

In the heart of Bangladesh is one of the most populated cities in the whole world, Dhaka. Around 22 million people are sharing the space. One of the most popular ways to travel short distances is taking a rickshaw, a traditional human-powered vehicle. The colorful patterns and paintings of the rickshaws enhance the busy streets of Dhaka. For many families, this is the only source of income. Not only is this profession physically exhausting, but it is also risky as many accidents happen on the streets. While many stories remain untold in the chaos of the city, this short documentary invites you to look behind the steering wheel. Firoza, Suruj, and Chunno share their stories of hope and despair.
