Advocacy Tools on Migration

Another Horizon portrays the reality of international female migration from Bangladesh. It deals with issues such as the motivations of women to migrate, their experiences in the host country, their successes and failures and their reintegration efforts. Apart from documenting the experiences of female migrants, experts, senior government functionaries and representatives of migrants’ associations have also been interviewed.

The film covers the message that placing bans and/or restrictions on movement of people is not realistic. Rather pragmatic policy of recognising the reality and formulating effective measures can help ensure steady, healthy and safe labour movement. Directed by Sharif Uddin Palash, Another Horizon presents a perspective for building a better future for the female migrants and for all of us.

Another Horizon is an outcome of a joint collaboration between the Refugee and Migratory Movements Research Unit (RMMRU) and Media-mix Enterprise (ME), a media consultancy and production house. The British Council, Dhaka, supported the production of the documentary.
