Synopsis

A testament to the resilience of human spirit, "Stories of Change" is a real life documentary about the lives of 5 women aging from 16 to 60, coming from different walks of life, from different profession, religion and regions of Bangladesh.Different yet common in their dreams, these women face life's challenges with confidence and belief in their dreams. Knitted in 5 small shorts, "Stories of Change" takes us to a 6th story, unlike a cliché stereo-type, a distinct yet universal struggle of human existence.

"Stories of Change" travels through Bangladesh, through its hills, rivers and lanes, through generations, following the narratives of a 16-year-old cricketer to a 60-year-old activist. Together it attempts to portray a different picture of Bangladeshi women - of women who dare to dream!
