In a significant recognition for Bangladeshi filmmaking, award-winning filmmaker Noman Robin’s critically acclaimed documentary Chai Theke Phool (From Child to Flower) is now set to reach students in colleges and universities across the United Kingdom.
Known for creating thought-provoking documentaries, Robin’s Chai Theke Phool sheds light on the struggles and transformation of underprivileged children in Bangladesh. The documentary has already garnered praise for its emotional storytelling and powerful visuals that depict the harsh realities faced by street children and the hope that education and care can bring.
This time, the film is making its way to academic institutions in the UK, where it will be screened for students as part of discussions on social responsibility and community impact. The initiative aims to inspire young minds to think critically about social inequality, child rights, and the role of collective action in transforming lives.
Speaking about this achievement, Noman Robin shared that on August 20, the official screening program will begin, marking a significant milestone for Bangladeshi independent cinema on the global stage. Robin hopes that his film will encourage students to empathize, reflect, and engage in meaningful conversations about building a better world for vulnerable children.
Produced under the banner of ‘Robin’s Film’, Chai Theke Phool has already toured several international film festivals and received accolades for its poignant narrative and impactful direction. Now, as it enters the UK’s educational circuit, the film’s journey from a local story to a global classroom is a testament to the universal power of storytelling.
This remarkable development also highlights the growing presence of Bangladeshi filmmakers in global cinema, showcasing stories that need to be told and voices that deserve to be heard. As Chai Theke Phool finds its place in lecture halls and student debates, it stands as an example of how films can go beyond entertainment — to educate, move, and inspire action.
