About the Book
This photobook is the first of its kind – self-published by the talented photographer and Rohingya refugee, Sahat Zia Hero. With his unique perspective, Sahat Zia invites you to look and to really see the Rohingya community and life as it simply is, in one of the largest refugee camps in the world, in a remote corner of south-east Bangladesh.
In the tradition of documentary photography, Zia presents an engaging visual narrative that captures the Rohingya community striving to build a better life for their children amidst the undeniably harsh realities of the refugee camps. It is a fragile existence threatened by deadly fires, heavy monsoon rains, floods and landslides. Yet, there are everyday moments of joy, tenderness, perseverance and hope as the Rohingya community lives between two worlds – their homeland and the refugee camps, the past and the uncertain future.
