citizen journalist report Documentary stories are often those of the filmmakers and not the communities where a development project has taken place. I wanted to try something different on the community-based ‘Fish Culture’ project that I lead.

In July 2009, together with filmmakers from the Bangladesh NGO Proshika, two men and two women from Melandi village in Rajshahi were trained for a week in video camera techniques, before they wrote and produced their own film.
