'Blockade' is a 2016 documentary film by Arif Yousuf on nonviolent peace activism in the US protesting the genocide of Bangladesh (then East Pakistan) in 1971. This depicts the story of nonviolent actions to stop the shipment of arms from the US to Pakistan during the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War.
Synopsis
In early 1971, Bengalis in eastern parts of Pakistan had voted on their right to govern after a convincing election victory. Shortly afterward a humanitarian crisis and war extended down the Bengal Delta as the military dictatorship attempted to repress the people. The events eventually led to the birth of an independent Bangladesh.[https://www.thedailystar.net/frontpage/the-making-blockade-1328776 The Making of 'Blockade' The Daily Star, December 15, 2018][https://www.dhakatribune.com/feature/2016/05/07/the-blockade-documentary 'The Blockade' documentary The Dhaka Tribune May 7th, 2016]medium.com [https://medium.com/@HShahana/blockade-in-review-remembering-bangladesh-in-1971-48bcbdd5d1f1 Blockade in Review, Remembering Bangladesh in 1971]
