36 Days in July

Hasina – 36 Days in July tells the inside story of Sheikh Hasina’s final days in the summer of 2024 as a bloody protest swept through a nation and ended a political dynasty. Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit has obtained secret phone calls that reveal the brutal orders which left over a thousand student protestors lost their lives and tens of thousands badly wounded. Sheikh Hasina’s ruthless plans to crush a student protest for jobs are exposed in a series of covert recordings made by her own spy network. A surveillance network that tracked even her closest allies and, in a final twist, Sheikh Hasina herself. The I-Unit takes you inside the prime minister’s palace during the final chaotic hours of a government that ruled Bangladesh with an iron grip for 15 years. From the very beginning of working on this documentary with the I- Unit, I have been involved in visual research, cross-checking information, site visits, and collecting testimonies. Additionally, I gave an interview as an important eye-witness in this film.
