“Bay of Blood” is a documentary film (2023) about Bangladesh’s Liberation War: the bloody birth of a nation, a forgotten genocide, and how America supported the Pakistani regime responsible for mass killings in 1971. Filmmaker Krishnendu Bose decided to make the film when he realized that much of the international community, especially in the West, had no idea about the war and genocide that occurred there over 50 years ago. Bose is an Indian Bengali filmmaker based in New Delhi whose production company, Earthcare Productions, has made many award-winning films on wildlife conservation and environmental justice.
This screening brought together CUNY community, community organizers organizing in the South Asian diaspora, scholars and allies.
