In-person Q&A with Producer Sudipta Roy

Understanding the role of faith in climate change is crucial for developing effective and inclusive strategies. In Bangladesh, where faith is deeply woven into the social fabric, leveraging the influence of religious communities can enhance resilience and drive sustainable solutions. Sadly, much of the existing literature and dialogue on climate change in Bangladesh neglects this vital faith component. That’s where the documentary No Ark comes in. Over 14 months, an independent filmmaker and his team dove deep into Bangladesh, interviewing over 60 people of various faiths, attending religious festivals, and exploring the impact of climate change on religious practices.
