2:23 pm
build 66 years ago, so now we have to take it down and think of it before the school, some or else. then we have to take it down due to erosion and rebuild it here. 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 is only 4 years old. that doesn't make a particularly powerful impression but farmers who don't have many fields
2:24 pm
often have no choice but to settle here the cause. follow your mother to her by name, but 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 feels safe from jemina and its powerful tides. but even they are not completely safe from the floods.
2:25 pm
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 things to technical development and we can try new varieties . you're looking at just the see it on a grow, the very well hi can be used as high on the album when i was a child, you could only have as just the feeling like this a at v gave up 50 is what i'm what i'm gonna be a problem at all. feel free to have a good 830 the the job. and they came up from the 12 years ago. but well, people have become wise on. we'll get to go to court a hook up because somebody planned trees immediately to and get this oil and the level one up. you pulling the guy. so got got the definitely avenue and we can
2:26 pm
eventually sell the trees later. is that one right? does business in this foundation we built in 2011 ever from after that we had to wait until the settled our mission is from either 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 often tell him that maybe we shouldn't move to the mainland, but he doesn't want to leave the chart. 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 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 ready
2:27 pm
to go to the flow that about him 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 because little harvesting takes place during the monsoons. many showed us live off

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 anyone? 500. 15515 nobody. then he's gone for $500.00. the
2:30 pm
the he brings the expensive fish home for supper. the he can still trust that his land is safe from the rising waters. but not far away, it's a different story. sure to some on has given up his land and the store in parts of his house and his relatives, the yeah, old, the individual pieces of a complete hon to go to band. if you was of another hunt. i also put them on top.
2:31 pm
so how does the say go to the 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. what started 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 with them. if i hear that another neighbor is relocating whether he tells me, oh no, it's on our guard. i go there and help take down the hunt, transported away and rebuild it. that's how people tired of newborn car launch hours, help each of the starting one minus it optimal desk. see the
2:32 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 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
2:33 pm
lucky and jim luna will give him back the land and 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 hearty 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

material dude, such as about one year old, the farmers earned about 400 to 500 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 drying 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, expensive oil was the only source of energy for the child us.
2:36 pm
today children grow up with solar energy as the norm for 6 year old chic, it's common place, the themes brother own. the 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 i 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 you would have how many devices and i want
2:37 pm
to work as a web designer from home. but it was you who were doing. the brother supports me to learn this professional medicare with to buy all this equipment. so this is supposed to be financially is helping us in the visual visit. i'm not sure what else that she knows. here's how it develops it to them a little way this, 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 follow the work of professional web designers in the country, and they will even the internationally known monitors. i read that books the fall of the applause g cheap the most. i me, the, the, the kind of the needed to see the gives us boardman life event. i think the young people on the charlotte, the 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
2:38 pm
unusually late in early september. the title floods have finally come. normally the child as expect 3 title waives between june and the end of august. but this time, the rising waters come only wants. 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 will ensure a mountable harvest for the child us in the coming dry season, the
2:39 pm
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 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 is a good i don't know if i'm lucky enough to save this rice crop. it's growing so beautiful in the bottle. here at the finish of 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 a bath, papa. hi, no, you just had
2:40 pm
a shower when a good day, they 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 do 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 evidenced than this footage from the past quarter century,
2:41 pm
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, the, the,
2:42 pm
this time there was only one tidal wave in the monsoon season. it left behind huge amounts of fertile soil that 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 going to a, to me. uh, but uh she, uh, not to be long done that the hard. no, but she let me go look, gone all mom they had the bus to
2:43 pm
2:44 pm
2:45 pm
2:46 pm
knots, mays, sweet potatoes, mustard, and corey, and are keep it out. he busy the agent number to bobby, that's literally what i'm gonna do and actually sink. 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, substituted this book, the lucky more this is just your router. when the monsoons come was that when it's all about this is l farmland, that these fields only lie on plants if the 2 or 3 mounted on 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, but it doesn't seem like the november move data key. 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
2:47 pm
say send to the bar example here, the soil into the see how the peanuts a thriving problem is, but you can see how drive the soil is powerful in the business. and that the supervisor of the team's neighbor showed us i'm on, has been lucky that 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 monsoon. now he's building the foundations for his new home. here. it will need to be high enough to stay afloat during the next floods. the important book now we are moving from the east and to the west in science,
2:48 pm
solve the problems. we can actually make a good living from farming and anchor calling check from them. but this erosion is 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 a 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 and i do. i cannot keep my savings that i bought in some sort of talk about the, [000:00:00;00] the, even though there are no trees here yet to fortify the island,
2:49 pm
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 the most of the told us are developed muslims praying 5 times
2:50 pm
a day however is something very few do but no farmer wants to miss the spiritual chancing at one of his time in late february the anybody to school or 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 the you go abroad by playing the broad. that's right. and what's that, that to you alone you look see these are off to you. yeah. do you know what that's
2:51 pm
made? oh, well banana trees, right. whatever. and what did they put on this roster? that was it that she yeah, that would be. and to look at the go, that's the boys just the see how sketchy is. she's afraid of falling into the water . finding a way to like that. yeah. but i'm not afraid of the water. the child of nude ford has also survived the monsoon. but now there's a lot to do in the fields. i mean, those husband associated with dean can take care of their younger, or 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 house,
2:52 pm
for the rest of it. my father was a capital trader, as a child who used to take me with him, and i watched him and learn how the business works level. i didn't finish school, so i have to end my money as a salesman. i managed a little bit until the 7th grade i my parents married me off so i couldn't get in, you know, if a lot of people that as little 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, you can't go to the 1st because then you have to work at home, but that's a little i would have had a good chance to finish school. my parents made an effort, but i blew i to this to her room. so probably one of the,
2:53 pm
or the say it's 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 that 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, but it just because of, of the like another bundle. no, no, no, no, no that's enough. ready or wait until next time. here, i want to take one more minute that's enough and i want another one. you wouldn't make it. i will. the,
2:54 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 outside so that the floods won't reach the 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 of 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
2:55 pm
the move you have to cross the river here every time to bring in the harvest. that's going to be hard again. because you did you grow crops then last you know, even further away and i think that was very exhausting. yeah. hm. when you were down, so you know, we wanted to keep up and when i don't know yet how i'll make it to see it. are you coming home? is that? 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, 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 what i've never done that was up in the diamond fiber. why shouldn't you you can try it some time. they look at a called a home. no, i don't want to,
2:56 pm
as i'm supposed to do everything myself or what, who else has? and then when do i go there? 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 it a negative. 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 to go up. but i tell that to your sons, because they should make money on the mainland and due to life the. i'll stay here on the job. many told us things like that he, they may never give up this land, but to constance, remain the child shifting nature and the child us desire for security,
