Partnership with UNICEF Bangladesh for Children's Film Series

Amplifying children's voices through cinema

Farzana Mim

Producer, RM

We are proud to announce a groundbreaking partnership with UNICEF Bangladesh to produce a series of short films that put children's stories at the center of the frame. This collaboration represents everything we believe in — using the power of cinema to amplify voices that need to be heard.

The series will feature six short films, each telling the story of a child from a different region of Bangladesh. From a young fisherman's apprentice in the Sundarbans to a girl defying odds in a rural school in Rangamati — these are stories of resilience, imagination, and hope.

What makes this project special is our approach. We are not just making films about children — we are making films with children. Each story will be developed through workshops where young participants shape the narrative, choose the visual style, and even operate cameras. Their perspective is not just welcome — it is essential.

UNICEF Bangladesh's commitment to child rights and creative expression aligns perfectly with our mission. Together, we believe that cinema can be a powerful tool for advocacy, education, and empathy-building. These films will not just entertain — they will inspire action and understanding.

When a child tells their own story, the result is more powerful than any adult could create on their behalf.
