To Be a Marma 2020

The Marma are a minority indigenous people living in the Hill Tracts of the Bangladesh/Myanmar border.

To Be a Marma portrays how different figures try to do this through religion, music and land ownership. It was made as part of producer/academic Farhana Hoque's long term collaboration with the community.
