the since the beginning of time melting glaciers in the himalayas had been feeding countless rivers. they pour out of the mountain range, running like veins throughout the south asian continent. the one of the most powerful is the drama to a truck, which travels thousands of kilometers before crossing bangladesh and flowing into the bay of bingo. here the river is known as june. the. the juno 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 wandering. the 3000000 people who live on the islands called themselves
1:17 pm
child 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 up fertile settlement that produces a bountiful harvest in the dry season. the floods provide both fish and joy to the child, 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
1:18 pm
they can grow and work against a life of construction, destruction, and reconstruction. the no fish. nothing for me. i don't know what this thing is told you. oh dear, didn't you catch anything by the castle castle
1:19 pm
last night? that's enough for lunch. the news i have been talking to the 33 year old that i am sure to god isn't actually a fisherman, but a farmer together with his wife aliya become he feeds his 6 person household. so besides their 2 children, his younger brother and mother also live with the the raw him and his neighbors live on child early. but up in the middle of the june the monsoons began months ago,
1:20 pm
and the river is knowing away at the island. but the tidal waves that usually flood the jobs are not here this year, even in august the me but for us tell rose to be there is the cost and the blessing. and here with that, you know, now flows which are really para was actually everywhere. they were both schools concrete building and we had, every states were 5 minutes with probably single readings and then from the east river started pushing and ripping everything away. i was glad we'll do it again. say i'm, i'm sick. i'm is this all right here, a child could come up again and people could settle again. what's the use or is it fine to, to the, where our village of relief is now, the moon used to flow sort of big ships used to pass by wondering if i saw it
1:21 pm
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. telemundo washes away some of the jobs only to later wash up new settlement elsewhere. the not far from the heem until recently lived. shoot some on the there only one or can be seen now because you're moving has reclaimed the large parts of his former home. jemina has taken over the shoot us i'm on
1:22 pm
a farmer, lived here with his family for 8 years. everybody kept over here was my home, a piece of field was washed away with the property that kind of worried about here was a house over, there was a neighbor, there was another problem. anybody here 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,
1:23 pm
my son went to the school. my property is gone and now we are losing the school to the ca bubble into the front of the building. you see here we build 66 years ago, 5 of them now we have to take it down to the bank of the before the school somewhere else. then we have to take it down due to erosion and rebuild it. tens of times we have to move at the school by the name of the monsoon season, and erosion go hand in hand. you never know which island of the river will take next northward, perhaps the this job
1:24 pm
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 could tune 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
1:25 pm
killing 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 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 uh, is stable for the moment. the people here still feels safe from jemina and its
1:26 pm
powerful tides. but even they are not completely saved from the floods. is the dominant them you don't want i'm that's mine. i agree with that myself. it's growing. well. it dropped out that is that the same, these arises brand new thanks to technical development and we can try new varieties . you're looking at just the daughter who just 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 big problem. 50 is hold on, hold on would be a problem at all. so which one did 830 the the job and they came up from the 12 years ago. but well, people have become wise. so i'll get to go to court
1:27 pm
a hook up because somebody planned trees immediately to and get this oil and the level one up. you pull in augusta, definitely avenue. and we can eventually sell the trees later. is that one? right? the business in this foundation we built in 2011, ever from after that we had to wait until the settled our mission is why the money, 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 those have 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 often tell him that maybe we shouldn't move to the mainland, 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
1:28 pm
why didn't you get some money from your parents? why don't you get 500000 tucker to 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 right to go to the flow that heem and his wife aliya are busy all day like her husband. she's educated, but here on the jobs, there is no opportunity for women to put their schooling to use a lia supports her husband in his work and earns extra money as it seems to the neighbors by their clothes, from her instead of on the mainland, the
1:29 pm
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, there are many different kinds of fish and practiced showed us can even catch them with their bare hands. the look how
1:30 pm
big it is, the, or the farmers no longer use the fish solely to feed their families. at the port of golden da sheet, they bring their fish to be auctioned off, supplementing their livelihood on whatever the event came to sometimes visit the market and globin does nothing to me. here. the 46400. 60 anyone 747500
1:31 pm
anyone? 515515 nobody. and he's gone for $500.00. the so he brings the expensive fish home for supper. the law he can still trust that his land is safe from the rising waters. but not far away, it's a different story. short of some on has given up his land and a store in parts of his house and his relatives, the economics of it. yeah, all the individual pieces of
1:32 pm
a complete hon to go to the end. if you was of another hunt, i also put them on top. so how does the say go to the other one uh, find out how i can buy when we take down no rebuild the home. so it takes a lot of people to they had to just logistically, it's a big effort that also costs money. what assume it is very tedious. was starting monitor the vehicle some of 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 decided when, if i hear that enough, a neighbor is relocating whether he tells me all knowledge and i go there and help take down the hunt, transported away and rebuild it. that's how people tired of newborn car. little towers help each other. the starting one long as it optimal desk. as the
1:33 pm
pseudo 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 child's are the land and farm land on them are still surveyed and entered into the land register. the all showed us keep their title deeds in
1:34 pm
case they are flooded. land reappears perhaps this time should have some on we'll get lucky and yamuna. we'll give him back the land. it took the. this is what it looks like before the flooded 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 that. 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,
1:35 pm
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 stalks must be left to soften in the water so the threads can be cold. the, the remaining parts of the plant are used as building and burning material. the
1:36 pm
material dude, such as about one year old the farmers earn about $400.00 to $500.00 euro is from the significantly more than the $100.00 to $200.00 euro's 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 during the season 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,
1:37 pm
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 teams 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,
1:38 pm
i get my product graduated well from school event. the timing is his great fashioning. he didn't want to do anything else. sure. how many devices i want to work as a web designer from home who were doing the brother supports me to learn this professional, but again, with to buy all this equipment. this is supposed to be financially is helping us in the visual visit. gosh, and what else is she knows here is how much is it out to them a little way this? i get a get with the one thing that we don't love economical image the honey, but i don't have any training and web design. so i follow the work of professional web designers in the country, and then even the internationally known ones that you read the books, the fall of the applause and g cheap the most. i me the, the need to see the gives us boardman life event. i think the young people on the job at the very small now that if i can get them together, i would like to start a company to provide services like this online, but it's always been a johnson. the
1:39 pm
unusually late in early september. the title floods have finally come. normally the showed us expect 3 title waves between june and the end of august. but this time, the rising water is come only once. here to climate change is evident, the within a few days, the flooded waters reach dangerous levels. as the river takes its toll, no one's thinking about the fertile settlement. it breaks. even though the floods
1:40 pm
will ensure to 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. 7 days ago it started to rise. first, the river was swollen and then in the last 3 days the water ended from here. if the water just continues to rise folder rice will be lost on what it 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 in the bottle to the semester. the me see, find the water is close to l. ya. now, when the children play here, they could fall into a hole. it's dangerous. i want to take
1:41 pm
a bath, papa. i think was no, 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 that 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 every day, life will become much more difficult. as
1:42 pm
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 us, they are increasingly worse due only in part to nature. a bridge was built here 25 years ago, forcing the once 14 kilometer wide river and to a narrower channel. the chow does say that until the bridge was built, the floods were not as dramatic as they are today the noon
1:43 pm
. 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 but uh she uh, jo mode. it goes to a to me uh, but uh she uh, not to be long done. that the hard. no, but she let me go look,
1:44 pm
gone all monday had the bus to come back from you so that he was not lucky with his rice fields. the water destroyed the crop, but he was able to save his other fields the landscape, which until now was
1:45 pm
a disaster area. suddenly looks very different and 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 in 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
1:46 pm
irrigate their fields. the soil still wet in some places and good for planting. rice rice can be grown all year. what must be harvested before the flints come the
1:47 pm
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 knots, mays, sweet potatoes, mustard, and corey, and are keep it clean. busy the number to bobby, that's literally what i'm gonna do and actually sink. there is a river here. all these floods a 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 the tv book, the lucky more. this is just your router. when the monsoons come was that when it's that this is l farmland that these fields only lie on plants if the 2 or 3 more don't over the just where they are flooded up on me, peggy, only during this time can we not talk today is the ticket then when everything is verbal when it but it, that's why i think we live in the river,
1:48 pm
but it doesn't seem like the key i'm on the positive. glenda soil here has a big advantage. we don't necessarily always need the plants. sometimes you just say send the bar example here, the soil into the see how the peanuts a thriving problem, but you can see how drive the soil is powerful the business and that the supervisor on the team's neighbor showed us i'm on has been lucky. but jeff, 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. from us lab work
1:49 pm
taking the important box. 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 it or the promo that's the problem for us. the trial really happens if every 3 or 4 years the river eats away my property. why do i cannot keep my savings at the bottom in terms of talking about the the,
1:50 pm
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 i'm on at the moment. but no one knows when juno will get hungry again and start knowing on the shore line. the
1:51 pm
most of the challenges are developed muslims praying 5 times a day, however, is something very few do. but no farmer wants to miss the spiritual chanting at heart of his time in late february the to let me see have you been to school asked the teacher, what did he say? good. he said, i should study hard. i invited him to our house. do you know who did you see the house? i think so, but checked because of the bugler drive by playing the broad. that's right. and what's that that to you alone?
1:52 pm

1:53 pm
was able to start with my father was a capital trader. as a child, he used to take me with him and i watched him alone and how the business wants to level i didn't finish school, so i have to and my money as a salesman. to this i managed a little bit until the 7th grade and then my parents married me off so i couldn't get in, you know, if a lot of people that are so the we are poor child on the with the know the, the girls get married off quite early, but offend when you're married. you can't go to the 1st because then you have to work at home, but i feel like, oh, i would have had a good chance to finish school. my parents made an effort,
1:54 pm
but i blow 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, they can see properly, they can understand everything and do a lot of things with their lives. everything is much easier for the that and those who have no education at all. they are like blind people with healthy eyes. 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 mother just because of of the like another bundle. no, no, no, no, no, that's enough. one more. wait until next time. here i want to take one more. now that's enough. i want another one, you wouldn't make it. i well, the,
1:55 pm
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 up site so that the floods won't reach the look. look what i have here. my goodness, so much. where do i put it? bring it here please. for 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 like a li,
1:56 pm
a 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 the last you know, even further away. i think that was very exhausting. yeah. we're down to now. we're going to keep up and when i don't know yet how i'll make it to see, are you coming home? is that no, i don't want to. why not do what i mean? okay. did you foster volk? why didn't you get some of the, the, the of them we've gotta 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 diamond fiber. why shouldn't you you can try it sometime. they've already
1:57 pm
got a home. no, i don't want to as i'm supposed to do everything myself or what, who else hasn't learned? when do i go the 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 clear 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 can, i guess, i guess you want me to toil a 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 to go up. but i tell that to your sons, because they should make money on the mainland and due to life day. i'll stay here on the job. many child us think like they may never give up this land, but to constance, remain the child shifting nature and the child us desire for security,
