Hi, I am Mohammad Montasar Al Mamun lived in Dhaka, Bangladesh. I am a writer and have a little academic background of Filmmaking. My journey of Filmmaking started in 1999 when I got a book about liberation war of Bangladesh in 1971. Where explained in derails about our Garila Fighters and there lot of operations in Dhaka City. Most of Fighters was 13 to 25 years old. Can you believe only 2 boys 13 and 14 years old blasted in National Television Station.
In that book I found a Garila Team of 6 members specially commando trained enter Dhaka and there mission was sabotage a Power Station for blackout of all Dhaka City. Members of this group all boys around 14 to 20 years old. Enter of Dhaka after 18 days all of members was caught by Pakistani Army without Team leader and there family didn’t find there dead bodies. All of those boys was extraordinary in there own field. Like Team leader Kazi was selected in Pakistan National Basketball Team but he didn’t Join. Juale Hard Hitter Opening batsman and peoples went to the field to watch his playing but jast because of a East Pakistani Cricket Board never select him. Salim 14 years old School boy never missed the target. Bodi famous student in Economics of Dhaka University. Rumi multi talented boy who had to went US for study in engineering but he join Garila Force.
They said, A free country don’t want any alive Garila so we must be die in battles. How strong there mentality? After they caught and torture Mother one of them manage to talk her boy for a last time. Mother asked boy, they torture you a lot? Boy said, yes and asked me to tell other boys name. I am afraid, if I don’t take a long and say the name of other boys? Mother replied, next time when they torture you must be strong and never tell any names. Here you can understand the Mothers mentality.
Those true stories shake me inside and I decided that I have to take the story to the present generations.
So I started to write the Scripts and it takes 12 years to finish the scripts because I need to very careful about every single facts and cross chack. With that study different books of filmmaking and books about our liberation war in 1971.
Now I have so many true story of 1971 what is really heard to believe.
In 2017 I got admission in Bangladesh Cinema and Television Institute, Post Graduate Diploma in Filmmaking the only institutions in Bangladesh of Filmmaking and I was in 3rd batch. But I left it after 6 months complicated 1st semester because what they teach us I learned it long before.
We watch so many true story based war movies like Saving Private Rayan. The boys in 1971 in Bangladesh they was more then jast a human being.
Still I can't complite my film because of budget. If anyone join with me we must create a history.
