Char… the No Man’s Island

.

Meet Rubel, a fourteen year old boy smuggling rice from India to Bangladesh. He has to cross the river Ganga acting as the international border. The same river eroded his home in mainland India. A fragile island called Char was formed within the large river.
Rubel, with his family and many homeless people settled in this barren field controlled by the border police. He dreams of going to his old school in India. But he fights on while monsoon clouds arrive inviting the flood, the river swells up again. “Char may disappear but we won’t,” smiles the boy.
