What happens
Runway (Bengali: রানওয়ে) is a 2010 Bangladeshi drama film directed by Tareque Masud, his final feature film before his death. The screenplay was co-written by Masud and his wife Catherine Masud. The film was inspired from the 2005 Bangladesh terrorist attack. The film explores the complex issue of Islamic extremism in Bangladesh through the story of Ruhul, a young boy living in poverty near an international airport. Disillusioned and unemployed, Ruhul becomes entangled with a charismatic figure who introduces him to a radical ideology. Runway garnered critical acclaim for its social commentary, realistic portrayal of contemporary Bangladesh, and performances by its cast. It often comes in the lists of one of the best Bangladeshi films ever made. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
