Bangladesh secures place on high table of world cinema with MeToo story in Cannes

New Delhi, Jul 8 (UNI) The Cannes film festival has a Bengali language film in the official selection this year. And it is not from India.
'Rehana Maryam Noor' by Bangladeshi director Abullah Mohammad Saad created history yesterday when it became the first film from Bangladesh to be screened at the world's biggest film festival. Part of Cannes festival's Un Certain Regard section that celebrates fresh voices in world cinema, Saad's second feature film had its world premiere on the second day of the festival.
The 107-minute film, a Bangladesh-Singapore co-production, tells the story of Rehana Maryam Noor, an assistant professor at a medical college finding herself on the wrong side of the establishment when she exposes sexual harassment by a senior faculty member. Set in the middle of the last decade, years before the MeToo movement exploded globally, the film brings to light the harrowing gender injustice and inequality existing in the Sub-continent.
