A Rohingya Ramadan – A month inside the world’s largest refugee camp

The film ‘A Rohingya Ramadan’ offers a rare and intimate view of life inside the world’s largest refugee camp, seen through the eyes of several of its residents. Made in Cox’s Bazar during Ramadan 2025, this documentary is the result of a collaboration between director Jidi Guo and Rohingya human rights activists Ro Yassin Abdumonab and Sohel Khan, both whom reside in the camp.

The movie captures the texture of daily life during the Islamic holy month: families preparing iftar over open fires, children studying in overcrowded shelters, and youths searching for purpose amid uncertainty. The film will premiere on Al Jazeera Documentary. This screening at the FCCT will be its first outside the Middle East.

Following the screening, a panel discussion will give the audience insights into the production process and the realities of life inside the camps. The evening also includes a companion photo exhibition showcasing stills from the month-long shoot. Prints will be available for purchase, with proceeds donated to Mayyu Sunlight Community High School in Camp 1 East, Lambashia, Cox’s Bazar.

The panel will feature:

Jidi Guo, producer-director, A Rohingya Ramadan.

Abdullah Bawshore, Rohingya photographer featured in the film.

A representative from Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. (TBC)

Other panelists (to be confirmed).

Moderator: Phil Robertson, director, Asia Human Rights and Labour Advocates, FCCT board member.
