Description
Summary:Narir Kotha is an exploration of the experience of women in the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971. During the war, thousands of women were systematically raped and tortured by the Pakistan army and their collaborators. But they were not only victims of sexual violence, they were also in the front lines of the popular resistance against the occupying army, as fighters and martyrs. Narir Kotha is an attempt to explore some of these stories, through the words of the women themselves.
