We intend to do a spoken word presentation performed by Leesa Gazi complemented by freedom songs by Sohini Alam. Also a few letters from the surviving sons and daughters of freedom fighters will be a crucial part of this performance. It will tell a humane story from a mother's point of view who lost her son and from the children's perspective who lost their parents in the midst of a brutal conflict.
