My Bicycle,” the first full-length Chakma-language film, was screened at Suhrawardy Udyan Open Stage despite being previously banned. The 64-minute film about the Chakma community faced censorship due to alleged army objections. A group of filmmakers, students, and educators organized the screening as part of “Freedom of Storytelling in a Free Nation” event, challenging censorship in Bangladesh. Another screening is planned at Dhaka University’s TSC premises. Daily Star
