but it's still 2 islands in bangladesh. do you see with us? the queen was like a sticking points. it's, you know, 5 what you into that warranty wants to be. finish your studies. now you have a sandy feet from the train. you can choose to go back or somewhere else currently, more people than ever on the move in search of a pass in life categories. something that is coming very, very soon. and yeah, can we learn more about or know when a story info, migraines, the since the beginning of

time, melting glaciers in the himalayas have been feeding countless rivers. they pour out of the mountain range, running like veins throughout the south asian continent. one of the most powerful is the drama tow truck which travels thousands of kilometers before crossing bangladesh and flowing into the bay of bingo. here the river is known as jim the jim lunar, creates and floods and many islands and its course. in ben gully, these ever shifting islands and bars are called chalk, derived from schroeder, which means wondering the 3000000 people who live on the island called themselves chat with us. but we don't migrate, they say the islands do. we just have to wonder alone. from june to

september, during the month to the rivers tides wash of fertile settlement that produces a bountiful harvest in the dry season. the floods provide both fish and joy to the child the but they also take knowing at the shore line of the old jobs flooding the islands and causing pain. the like no man's. the child has moved from flooded islands to newly emerging ones. but they are used to this. they know the river gives them fertile soil on which they can grow and to work again. a

life of construction, destruction, and reconstruction. the weakness dish. nothing over the last model. no, the only thing is told you. oh do you didn't you catch anything that's all fine. careful. careful about it. that's enough for lunch. the

33 year old. the heem shorter god isn't actually a fisherman. but a farmer together with his wife leah, be gum. he feeds his 6 person household besides their 2 children, his younger brother and mother also live with the the raw him and his neighbors live on child early. but in the middle of the june, the monsoons began months ago, and the river is knowing away at the island. but the title waves that usually flowed the jobs are not here this year,

even in august the me. but for us, child has to be, there is the cost and the blessing. and here with 2000000 and now flows, which i believe her was actually everywhere. they were birds, schools, concrete building. and we had every day for 5 minutes and then from the east river started pushing and ripping everything away. i was glad we'll do it and say i want to come is it sort of right here? a child could come up again and people could settle again about the use or the find the, the where our village of relief is now. the moon used to float from the big ships used to pass by wondering if i saw it myself as a child and the

child early, but has now been stable for 12 years. but it is the exception literally. but is one of a dozen charge that make up the gum shot a union district. not all the islands in the district have reached such an age every few years, jemina washes away some of the jobs, only to later wash up new settlement elsewhere. the not far from black heem until recently lived showed us among the there only one or can be seen now because you're moving uh has re cleaned the large parts of his former home . jemina has taken over the shoot us, i'm on a farmer, lived here with his family for 8 years and everybody kept

over here was my home. i'm a piece of field was washed away with the property that kind of went about here was a house over there was a neighbor. there was another one of the one bit of a was another friend of mine. 7 homes were here. the school that showed us a month son attends, must be demolished. the water is only a few meters away from its foundation. the rubble will be reused. building material is precious. it's not clear where the school will be rebuilt. for now it remains closed. yeah my, my son went to the school, my property is gone and now we are losing the school to the

ca bubble into the some in the building. you see here, we built it 6 years ago, so we have to take it down and think of the latest on that one on the back end before the school was some or else. then we have to take it down due to erosion and rebuild it. have tons of times we have to move at the school by the name of the company. the monsoon season and erosion go hand in hand. you never know which island of the river will take next nor to port. perhaps the least child is only 4 years old. that doesn't make a particularly powerful impression. but farmers who don't have many fields

often have no choice but to settle here the cause. follow your mother. i mean i've got 2 lives here. she is married and has 2 daughters. her husband, a seer, or dean khalifa is a farmer. unfortunately, some of his fields have flooded and he's no longer able to feed his family from field work alone. he also sells goods at the market. the scale of the game, we all have to live in

a hot with the animals because we are afraid of thieves or robbers because the river is so closely if there are often river pirates. here we are poor. we have a few animals. if the thieves and robbers take that away from us, how will we survive of the new zillow and it is it just last time the water was up to here up to the waist. it was very difficult to live here under the name and then we moved to a neighbor's house for a few days and the flood hit us there too. then we had to build a rack up high to keep the animals away from the water. often we also slept on a boat and there was no gas. the water taxi keams job relief, but is stable for the moment. the people here still feel safe from jemina and its powerful tides, but even they are not completely safe from the floods. is it that me down?

what i'm that's mine. i agree with that myself. it's growing. well, it dropped out that is that the see this rises brand new thanks to technical development and we can try new varieties, jo and look at the see it and they grow very well. hi. can be used as high on so many. then they have to remember when i was a child, you could only have as just the feeling like this, a gap up to 50 is what i'm, what i'm gonna be a little. so if we did a 30 the, the job and they came up from the 12 years ago, it's after. but, well people have become wise. so i'm getting ready to go to court a whole god because somebody planned trees immediately to and get this oil and the level one up. you pull in. augusta, definitely 7 though. and we can eventually sell the trees later. is that one right?

as a business in this foundation we built in 2011, ever from after that we had to wait until the settled our mission is why the edible doesn't mind when the water comes onto the property here, we have to bring extra soil here, like with the boat and then we build a hill, and then we put the animals on this hill near that. can you tell us how lucky and for cooking? you can see the dove, and of course it gets covered with water, finding police mazda, and then we build a high rock. and on top of this, again, a new stove, we tried to keep the wood dry, and on top of it, we sits in cook. i also tell him that maybe we shouldn't move to the main lands, but he doesn't want to leave the chalk kind of. he loves the child more than anything the mainland does. that's the question for him. i'm glad that i tell her why don't you get some money from your parents? why don't you get 500000 and tucker will buy a plot of land today, but she contract. she dreams of a house on the mainland. we just don't have the money back on the whole night ready

to go to the flow that about him and his wife aliya are busy all day like her husband. she's educated slut here on the jobs. there is no opportunity for women to put their schooling to use a li, a supports her husband in his work and earns extra money as it seems through the neighbors by their clothes, from her instead of on the mainland. the because little harvesting takes place during the monsoons,

many showed us live off of fishing during the rainy season. but in recent years, the highly sought after catch has been dwindling. the . 8 the, there are many different kinds of fish and practiced showed us can even catch them with their bare hands. the look how big it is, the,

the former is no longer use the fish solely to feed their families at the port of golden darcy. they bring their fish to be auctioned off a supplement, seeing their livelihood on the. 2 team to sometimes visits the market and go be not cheap. nothing to me here. the 400. 6400. 60 anyone? 7400. 750-1500 . 15515 nobody. then he's gone for $500.00.

the the he brings the expensive fish home for supper. the machine can still trust that his land is safe from the rising waters. but not far away. it's a different story. to do some on has given up his land and a store in parts of his house and his relatives, the excellent. yeah. all the individual pieces of a complete hon to go to a band. if you was of another hunt. i also put them on top

there. how does the thing go to the other one uh, find out how i can buy when we take down no rebuild. uh huh. so it takes a lot of people to that. how did this logistically? it's a big effort that also costs money. what assume it is very tedious when i started monitor the vehicle. so my on the buses, but we towers help each other. i mean that if i decide to take down my house today and tell the neighbors they come right away, i mean i want to have this out a little bit. if i hear that another neighbor is relocating whether he tells me, oh no, it's on my board. i go there and help take down the hunt. transported away and rebuilt it this i think we'll try to move on. got a little showers help each of the sorting more monitor optimal depth as the

to do some on and his family have to stay with relatives until they find a safe place. for a new home. the river is rising, the as unstable as the charts are. the land and farm land on them are still surveyed and entered into the land register. all showed us keep their title deeds in case their flooded land reappears. perhaps this time should have some on we'll get

lucky and yamuna. we'll give him back the land until the this is what it looks like before the flood waters arrive. the green grass land is food for cattle but in order to cultivate the land, the grass has to disappear. usually the flood takes care of, but when it doesn't, the farmers have to destroy the grass with chemicals in order to be able to plant. the the cute is a particularly hardy crop, but it can only be grown in the rainy season. the, there's a reason it's called the golden thread of bangladesh. it drives even when flooded

for the jude water is a friend. it likes stagnant water, the more brackish, the better after harvesting, the stones must be left to soften in the water. so the threads can be pulled the, the remaining parts of the plant are used as building and burning material. the

material dude, such as about one year, rose the farmer's earned about $400.00 to $500.00 euros from the harbor. significantly more than the $100.00 to $200.00 euros they would otherwise earn from us. not with products like dude and rice. the cho does have adapted to the rhythm of the dry and rainy season. 6 when it comes to electricity, they must also adapt to the rules of nature. solar panels are easy to use and the mobile. until a few years ago, expensive oil was the only source of energy for the child us.

today children grow up with solar energy as the norm for 6 year old chic. it's common place the that he was brother or only chicago even runs his laptop off the panels. the computer is connected to the internet through his mobile phone. when you are done here, could you please wait the patty field? okay. i have to go to a meeting or go away and when you, when you want to i get my product graduated well from school event. farming is this great fashioning that you didn't want to do anything else when the plumbing device

ends and i want to work as a web designer from home. who are doing the brother supports me to learn as professional monica with to buy all this equipment is of the how to get it is supposed to be financially is helping us with the visual of the shut off that she knows here and software development to the ideas, i guess we're building that, we don't love economical image the honey, but i don't have any training in web design. so i followed the work of professional web designers in the country, and then even the internationally known monitors. i read that books the fall of the law under cheap the most. i me that in the needed to see the gives us vaudeville life event. i think the young people on the charlotte very small now that if i can get them together, i would like to start the company is to provide services like this online, but it's always been a johnson. the

unusually late in early september. the title floods have finally come. normally the child as expect 3 title waves between june and the end of august. but this time, the rising water is come only once tear to climate change is evident. the within a few days, the flood waters reach dangerous levels. as the river takes its toll, no one's thinking about the fertile settlement. it brings, even though the floods will ensure to a mountable harvest for the child us in the coming dry season, the

by means you're doing the volume. and water has been standing here in the field for 3 days or 7 days ago it started to rise. first, the river was swollen. then in the last 3 days the water entered from here. if the water just continues to rise folder rice will be lost on what is a good i figured it was the i don't know if i'm lucky enough to save this rice crop . it's growing so beautiful england. 7 will have the fitness of the me see find the water is close to l. ya. now when the children play here, they could fall into a home can afford it. it's dangerous. i want to take a bath papa hyphen because you know, you just had

a shower and i don't want it. well that's how it is a life for you. in a few days ago, we were working on this pos, everything was to drive, and now we're walking in the water. i don't want the water. sometimes the water comes up to a chest for over a head. sometimes there is even a current to you will die, come grow. he seems relaxed about the flooding. aliyah is more concerned. the ground near their home is still dry. but if the water enters the yard everyday life will become much more difficult. as evidenced than this footage from the past quarter century,

the child us have had to develop extraordinary survival skills to adapt to the floods. floods which the child say are increasingly worse due only in part to nature. a bridge was built here 25 years ago, forcing the ones 14 kilometer wide river and to a narrower channel. chow does say that until the bridge was built, the floods were not as dramatic as they are today. the, the, the,

this time there was only one tidal wave in the monsoon season. it left behind huge amounts of fertile soil, but had to be till the dry season has long since begun. now 5 months later, it's harvest time, the, the but uh she jo, jo mode. it goes to a to me uh, but uh she uh, not to be long down at the high. no, but she loved me. good. not. good god. * mom, they had the bus to come

back from you so that he was not lucky with his rice field. the water destroyed the crop, but he was able to save his other fields of the the landscape, which until now was a disaster area. suddenly looks very different, it now gives the impression one can live well here. it is a different world,

but distances that could be covered quickly by boat or water taxi and the monsoon season. now take much longer. the in the monsoon season, the water is overwhelming. now it is scarce. let farmers desperately need it to irrigate their fields. the

soil is still what in some places and good for planting. rice, rice can be grown all year. what must be harvest it before the floods come the it's not just the rice that grows here throughout the dry season. the child as are busy harvesting one field after another at ground that's

mays, sweet potatoes, mustard, and corey. and or keep it clean, busy the number to bobby, that's literally what i'm doing. i actually think there is a river here all these floods and like a blessing for us. i'm one of the because the more often to fly to comes, the better it is for our farm and i want the more we can grow. so to do with both the working model. this is just amazing when the monsoons come was that when it's all about, this is outbound land that these fields only lie on plants at the 2 or 3 mountains on over the just where they are flooded up. i mean, peggy, only during this time can we not call today's the ticket then when everything is verbal, when they put it, that's why i think we live in the river, but it doesn't seem like the november move data fee. i'm on the partners. i'm a glenda soil here has a big advantage. we don't necessarily always need the plants. sometimes you just

see send to the bar example here, the soil and the see have the peanuts a thriving problem. but you can see how drive the soil is on the front of the business. and then the supervisor, the that he was neighbor showed us i'm on, has been lucky. but as a port island has reappeared from the river, he owns a plot of land on it. the soil is nice and high and it seems to be protected from the erosion that cost him hudson fields during the last month soon. now he's building the foundations for his new home. here it will need to be high enough to stay afloat during the next flood. they put all of our particularly important books. now we are moving from the east and to the west and

signed to solve the problems like we can actually make a good living from farming and anchor calling check from them. but this erosion, the pro body body that will just say kind of model, by example, this house that i have to rebuild here. it will cost me almost a $1000.00 euros altogether. i could have saved this money. i think it's only that i'm forced to spend that there's no problem with that's the problem for us. the child really have to do it every 3 or 4 years. the river eats away my property body . i cannot keep my savings at about in terms of the packing of the the even though there are no trees here yet to fortify the island. the new plot looks promising. the river is

a safe distance away. i should have some on plan to move ahead of time and all the neighbors are pitching in the things are looking good for showed us a month at the moment, but no one knows window moon. i will get hungry again and start knowing on the shore line the most of the told us are developed muslims praying 5 times a day, however,

is something very few do. but no farmer wants to miss the spiritual chancing at harvest time. in late february, the let me be to school. yes, i saw the teacher. what did he say? he said, i should study hard. i invited him to our house. to did you see the house? i think so, but check because of the bugler drive by playing the road. that's right. and what's that that to you along? you look see these rough to you? yeah. do you know what that's made? ok. well, banana tree, right? whatever. and what did they put on this roster?

the how is it that she and that would be and to look at the go that's the boy assist the see how sketchy is she's afraid of falling into the water. you will find me with the weight of like a there, but i'm not afraid of the water. the a child of noted food has also survived the monsoon. but now there is a lot to do in the fields. i mean, as husband, i see it dean can take care of their younger daughter. she doesn't have to travel far to work. this means i mean, i can take care of the older daughter schooling and have more time for housework. the

girl said that my father was a capital trader, as a child who used to take me with him, and i watched him alone and how the business wants to have. i didn't finish school . so i have to end my money. as a salesman. i managed a little bit until the 7th grade. my parents married me off so i couldn't get into and you know, that's a lot of people that are so the we are poor child on the with the know do the girls get married off quite early, but if and when you're married and you can't go to the furnace, because then you have to work at home, but that's all i would have had a good chance to finish school. my parents made an effort, but i blew i to the room. so probably one of those are the states like you are

blind, even though your eyes are healthy, the people who have education or they can see properly, they can understand everything and do a lot of things with their lives. everything is much easier for the and those who have no education at all. they are like blind people with healthy. i think that's how it is. there are even people who can't write their own name or the pipe. i can home educate my children up to great stuff. i never know better just because of of the i don't think another bundle. no, no, no, no, no that's enough. ready or wait until next time. here, i want to take one more. now that's enough. and i want another one. you wouldn't make it. i well the, the dry season has brought a good harvest and some security. the rice dogs are

a precious commodity because they feed the most important thing of all the animals . they have to be stored outside so that the floods won't reach them. papa, look, look what i have here. my goodness, so much. where do i put it? bring it here, place for a 6 year old chic life on the child is still an adventure. he doesn't know what's in store for the family. the monsoon season with it, a time of uncertainty will begin again the even though the family knows how to deal with the rhythm of nature, there is no secure foundation for an easy life. aliyah knows that the

move you have to cross the river here every time to bring in the harvest. that's going to be hot again. gus that you did you grow crops then last you know, even further away. i think that was very exhausting. yeah. we're down to now we want to keep up and while i don't know yet how i make it this year, are you coming home? is that and no, i don't want to. why not doing the okay. did you foster vote? why don't you get some of the, the, the of them is that i pay more lower. you know, the women who work in the fields carry a huge stacks of pain on the, when the used to it. so i've never done that was up in the beginning and 5, but why shouldn't you you can try it sometime. they look at a got a home. no, i don't want to. i'm supposed to do everything myself or what,

who else? i can learn. what do i go to? i was hoping that's at some point we would live on the main them so that the children could go to school. you could do, you have assets there on the mainland, a fallacy. i thought, well, you don't want to give up your fields here. you also quit your job in the city just to plow on the charles all the time. but that's not enough for allowing you to know for that. we'll see. one way, i guess you want me to toilet line in town and send you money so you can have a good life to sort of then keep digging into sam's. you don't need a dog. but i tell that to your sons, because they should make money on the mainland and due to life that i'll stay here on the job. many child us think like that here. they may never give up this land, but to constance, remain the child shifting nature and the child us desire for security. the
