It’s a humanitarian crisis that’s been going on for more than a year, with little attention around the world. There have been approximately one million Rohingya Muslims who have fled their homes in Myanmar where the United Nations has declared a “classic case of ethnic cleansing” was carried out. Entire villages were burned, women were raped, whole families were brutally murdered. Most of the refugees who escaped have landed in camps and settlements in Bangladesh where the conditions are brutal and many are still dying.
Local filmmaker Nazda Alam, who lives in Weston but grew up in Bangladesh, traveled back with her son to try and get some of these stories out to the world. She joined Jim Braude to discuss the crisis and her new documentary, "Rohingya: Atrocities Against Women."
