Life Before Land: Bangladesh’s Disappearing Shorelines | Dying Earth: E3 | Featured Documentary 

I was born in Bangladesh. I know my country very well. But I feel shocked when some so called vlogger and youtuber make videos of Bangladesh and say the country is developing by seeing some eye-catching buildings and corrupted skyscrapers. I believe this is the real face of Bangladesh. Thank you for Al Jazeera for giving such effort to make this video.

My heart is with you my brothers and sisters in Bangladesh. Love from the Philippines.

আমাদের মিডিয়া গুলা সারা দিন কি করে? তারা এত দূরে থেকে এত সুন্দর এবং গুরুত্বপূর্ণ অনুষ্ঠান বানায়। আমরা পারি না! অথচ টিভি চ্যানেল এর অভাব নাই।

One of my favorite country to visit someday! ❤Bangladesh 🇧🇩 From the Philippines 🇵🇭

Almost every south asian countries facing climate change , particularly Bangladesh, Pakistan, india , love from Pakistan for our brothers 🇵🇰🇧🇩

Love from Maldives, we are also facing same issues but both our corrupt politicians and dredging companies are reclaiming lands and destroying our beautiful country.

How much pain in the eyes of this innocent girl😢😢😢😢... May Allah help her. Love from ❤️

পৃথিবী কত বৈচিত্র্যময়, কত রকমের মানুষ আমাদের এই পৃথিবীতে, আল্লাহ সবাই কত কষ্টে জীবন পার করে, সেই তুলনায় আমারা কত সুখে শান্তি তে আছি। হে আল্লাহ, তুমি তো উত্তম পরিকল্পনা-কারী, তুমি সবাই কে সুস্থ রাখিও, এবং সমস্ত প্রতিবন্ধকতার সাথে লড়াই করে যাওয়ার সামর্থ্য দিও।

Thank you Aljazeera we always stand by you and the truth🇧🇩

Al Jazeera you are the true eyes and voice for the world. I hold a bachelor’s degree from University of Washington, Communications major. I volunteer to be part of your team wherever it may be. My respect to your media team.

ধন্যবাদ A J বাংলাদেশের সত্য ঘটনা তুলে ধরার জন্য। মানুষ যে কতটা কষ্টে আছে 🥺😢

এটাই বাংলাদেশের আসল চিত্র, একজন মারা গিয়ে আর এক জন কে জীবন দান। যদিও এক জীবনে যাদের জন্য জীবন দান করে যাবেন, তারা কতটা সুস্থ, শান্তি,শালীন,ভাবে বেঁচে থাকবে তা-ও নিশ্চিত ভাবো বলা যায় না। জীবন বাঁচলে তো ক্লাইমেট নিয়ে কথা বলবো। যেখানে কাল কি খাবো সেটাই অনিশ্চিত, সেখানে ক্লাইমেট নিয়ে কথা বলবো কি ভাবে?? হ্যাঁ, এটাই ২০২৪ এর ডিজিটাল বাংলাদেশ, হ্যাঁ এটাই বাংলাদেশের প্রতিচ্ছবি।

Developed countries are destroying the environment and we are suffering for that. That is painful. This documentary brings tears on my eyes 😥😥.

Thank you Aljazeera channel for showing in the world, how much problem face Bangladeshi in Bangladesh. Every Bangladeshi first wark is growth tree's many many tree's growth in Bangladesh please . please save Bangladesh and Bangladeshi future generation. Allah save me Bangladesh and Bangladeshi people . 😢😢😢😢😢😢

Was born in Oxford..uk... parents born in Bangladesh .n feel grateful but it hurts so much to see parts of Dhaka......So sad to see the corrupt n selfish ..n so called rich ones living in luxury homes.. apartments n skyscrapers.. in Dhaka ( Gulshan .Banani..Baridhara.. Areas of Dhaka) ...n then seeing these innocent..poor young ones n alike...in the slums😢 May Allah SWT bless the young girl n those in the slums in magnificent ways n build them!...a home in the best of paradise! Ameen Allahumma Ameen

That's the real development of our Bangladesh 😭😭 Thank you Aljazeera❤️

Capturing truth, life, and reality .. very thoughtful documentary

Oh ya Allah developed Bangladesh and every Muslim country! I was there but one thing i know is that they are poor but happy people they are satisfy with the little that Allah give them ❤❤❤ love Bangladesh and it's people.

Love you our brothers and sisters in Bangladesh 🇧🇩. ❤ 🇵🇰 Pakistan

We have enough resources and we can build everything up but we don't have good leadership. It's true Bangladesh is a developing country but leading people's lives is going worse day by day. People are scared about their life security. We don't know when the time will begin, when people can speak the truth. Love for Bangladesh, long live. Anyway thanks Aljazeera.

We wish prosperity for the people of Bangladesh. Love From pakistan.

Thanks al Jazeera Love ❤❤from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩

Lost the words to say, Bangladesh is a piece of gold in the world, just because of lack of proper planning and Indian interference and political reasons so many problems, now I have no other option but to pray to Allah Taala, I pray to my almighty Allah Taala that He Send a great leader for us and protect us from all evil forces

That girl made me so sad and I wish I could help her.. But I know this is a complex problem. I wish lot of strength to her and all people of Bangladesh.

Professor Saleem Huq is a very passionate environmental scientist who’s passionate in global warming and the welfare of the people, he deserves a Nobel prize. Kenya 🇰🇪 had a similar one , the late Professor Wangari Maathai who won the Nobel peace prize and the founder of The Green belt movement.

After seeing this film , I couldn't resist my tears . The slum dwellers are the real victims of the talk topic climate change. The world leaders don't pay any heed to control climate change would rather they think only weapons and power. May Allah bless our country Bangladesh 🇧🇩

খুবই গুরুত্বপুর্ণ প্রতিবেদন।

Thanks Al-Jazeera for representing the core reality of Bangladesh. We people of Bangladesh realise the actual meaning of livelihood........ May Allah protect my beloved country 🇧🇩

This is a absolutely real picture in Bangladesh

Thank you very much for highlighting these things, Al Jazeera we have never seen them in the news in Bangladesh😢😢

Thanks for Al Jazeera. The real documentary of Bangladesh 🇧🇩

বাংলাদেশের সংবাদ প্রচার করার জন্য অসংখ্য ধন্যবাদ

💚💚🌱🌱🇧🇩 সবাই গাছ লাগাই

Most People in the US do not know or do not care about what’s going on in Bangladesh and if they did would probably blame them for their plight. And how hard they work for so little that they have. Stuff like this helps keep me grounded as to how fortunate I really am as a regular working stiff in the United States

Saleemul Huq sir died last year. He was the epitome of our climate researcher. Its giving me goosebumps to see him after his death. (A Bangladeshi)

Big respect to Bangladesh nation deep in my heart i wanna say may Allah bless n protect all Bangladeshi people , salam ❤ to you all from Jkrta cty

Thank you for this documentary. I'm from a completely different part of the world, I knew some things about Bangladesh and the challenges she and her people face, but didn't realize just how bad these challenges and how strong the people are. I hope the world will not leave them alone to deal with this for much longer, we have to stop with all our petty bullshit and face this together.

Love You Bangladesh. Proud to be a part of You. The Golden Bangla. Be Blessed.

Thanks for this documentary.

Thanks al zazeera for beautiful Documentary..

May Allah protect Bangladesh from this climate change and floods.

The factory with the ladies sewing, reminded me of when i was young. Exact same sort of tin shed. Hot temps around 35 celcius in summer most days. Women in rows just the same. King Gee shorts etc made there. Now many of our clothes are made in Banga's (Bandgladesh). At Wulkaraka, Ipswich, Qld, Australia. About 1970. The rubbish dump was at the end of the street and the toilet was a tin can in a little wood hut outside. No hot water. 50 years and massive change since then. We have air con now and so many cars and we all have a tv now. I could go on and on. I pray these people get a much better standard of living and security for their future (as much as possible on this planet).

Thanks al Jazeera

Thanks a lot al zajeera to highlight a real picture of Bangladesh

We need help to built sustainable infrastructure 😓. Dhaka has becoming unlivable. Improved disaster management system in rural area is needed to stop people becoming climate refugee. Nobody want to became a refugee. Its sad to leave you birth place 😩.

Thanks to Al Jazeera for true news about Bangladesh......

Even I live in Bangladesh but didn't know about these sights. Thank you Al-Jazeera. Our government only show us the eye-washing development. 😢

Thank you so much Al Jazeera for sharing the important documentary. ❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you Al Jazeera for showing the world ❤

We suffer, we resist. we were tortured by colonisers, yet we weaved clothes for the world. The persistence of my people is what makes us proud. Insallah eventually we will succeed, one day or another. In hope for a better future, Joy Bangla ( viva Bengal)

Thanks for your report

The Aljazeera shows us the reality. Thank you so much from the heart of the core. And again thanks a zillion.❤ From- Kushtia, Khulna, Bangladesh.

Thieves have to stop stealing the sand.

Oh God I thank you for my mother land Uganda, 😭😭😭 because this is soooo 😢😢

I really couldn't hold back my tears😪 Thanks for this documentary

Many many thanks for coming in Bangladesh.

I can't figure out why Bangladeshi media do not highlights this kind of information. if they do it may concern other people. Ideas will come

This is the real scenario of the bangladesh thanks to alzazeera for showing this horrible conditions and i think its very important to take several steps for dhaka city because they are human they have their voice we have to save their life 🇧🇩

the real scenery of Bangladesh thanks a lot Al Jazeera

Finally someone voiced about this. What is the point of solutions if it never effectively produce satisfactory results.

When I saw this video, I was crying. I feel this pain. The poor people in the society have a difficult life due to austerity. Insha Allah, we will overcome.

Many thanks to Al Jazeera for presenting the real picture of Bangladesh. There is no one to highlight the people without land, clothes and food. I hope you will be with them.

One of the most remarkable and insightful documentaries on this pressing issue of Climate Change ever made As a Bangladeshi, I absolutely disgust the government for not enlightening this impending issue to the entire countrymen Hopefully this documentary will reach places - Love from 🇧🇩

I am very thankful to al Jazeera by sharing such documentry. It was helpful and my brain blindness gets some brightness now.

Thanks for the documentary and bringing the truth.

Still now Bangladeshi 80% people are poor no developing rural area it's true. And Bangladeshi most of channel controlling our government that's why they can't exposing true. At least Bangladesh is my motherland So I love my country 🇧🇩💕 It's great documentary Thank you Al Jazeera

আজ বাংলাদেশ যদি উন্নত হতো তাহলে এইভাবে উপস্থাপন করতো না। বিশ্ববাসীর কাছে আমরা গরীব ই রয়ে গেলাম।

Fisher Man Bissojit Ray got a great voice. Al Jazeera or anyone can use him for voice over. His voice could be a asset for him and a way of income. and way to lift himself out of this misery. Great job Al Jazeera. Be Blessed. Be JUST.

হায়রে বাংলাদেশ। এটা ক্লাইমেট চেইঞ্জ বিষয়ক খুবই সুন্দর একটা প্রতিবেদন। ধন্যবাদ জানাই আল-জাজিরাকে এত সুন্দর করে একটা প্রতিবেদন সারা বিশ্বের কাছে তুলে ধরবার।কিন্তু অন্যদিকে কিছু চেতনা বাদীদের জন্য আজকের বাংলাদেশ এর এই অবস্থা সেটা বাংলাদেশে থেকে আমরা ভালো করে জানি ও বুঝি।আমাদের দেশের সরকার আছে তার বাবার চেতনে আর কিছু নতুন নতুন পিচ ডালাই রাস্তা,আর কিছু ব্রিজ-কালভার্ট নির্মাণ করে উন্নত বাংলাদেশ দেখানোর ধান্দায়।আর কিছু চেতনার নামে গরিবের ঘর দিয়ে সেটা নিয়ে আনন্দ উল্লাস করে হাজার হাজার কোটি টাকা পাচার করে বিদেশে ২য় লাস ভেগাস বানাতে তারা সব সময় প্রস্তুত। আজকে মানুষের মৌলিক অধিকার হরন করে মানুষের মুখের কথা গুলির মাথায় রেখে হাজার হাজার কোটি টাকা বাংলাদেশ থেকে পাচার করে বেগম পারা বানাতে তারা মরিয়া হয়ে আছে।আজকে বাংলাদেশে ন্যায় বিচার নাই,আজকে বাংলাদেশ একটা মেরুদণ্ড হীন জাতিতে পরিনত হচ্ছে কারন এ দেশের শিক্ষাব্যবস্থা কে ধংস করে দেওয়া হচ্ছে এর পিছনে একটা ই কারন সেটা হলো নামে মাত্র শিক্ষিত থাকলে নেতাদের পা চাটাতে নেতাদের কোনো লজ্জা হবে না।এদেশে পুলিশ দিয়ে বিরোধী মতের মানুষ কে নির্বিচারে হত্যা,গুম, হামলা, মামলা এমন কোনো খারাপ কাজ নাই জেটা সরকার করছে না।কিন্তু যখন ই এই ধরনের প্রতিবেদন করা হয় তখন সরকার এর কিছু পা চাটা দালাল বলে এই প্রতিবেদনে সঠিক তথ্য দেওয়া হয় নাই।কি আর বলবো সবশেষে আল-জাজিরাকে ধন্যবাদ জানাই।

Thank you Al Jazeera.

This is heartbreaking. We have been displaced 11 times due to river erosion. after than we left and relocated in another town.

UK Bangladesh community should keep this in mind and should send more remittance to poor people

thanks Al Jazeera for making this documentary. There are many people suffering during flood, storm and river erosion.

It really broke my heart, how the people are been through such circumstance

This is a fantastic report. But at the same time, I loved what Prof Saleemul Huq said. Bangladesh is a land of solutions, not a land of hopeless people.

God have mercy 😢😢😢😢😢😢

Thanks Al Jazeera 🤍💙🇧🇩💔

Thank you very much for showing how hard the people of our country live. It would be better if our TV media showed us so everyone would know🇧🇩🇧🇩🙏🙏🙏

Alhamdulillah I am very well from Bangladesh

Thanks for uphold our situation

Thanks al jajira love form Bangladesh❤
