Deadliest Journeys

Synopsis

In Bangladesh, the challenges of overpopulation are starkly illustrated through the experiences of its 170 million residents. Director Geoffrion David captures the harsh realities of life in Dhaka, where a local proverb suggests that life is the most affordable commodity. The film features individuals, including those in Nepal, India, and Bhutan, navigating perilous daily commutes and confronting societal issues exacerbated by dense populations. A striking scene of a man diving into sewage-filled waters for gold epitomizes the desperate measures taken in this environment.
