Citibank NA Bangladesh has provided the partial funding for making of a non-commercial research-based documentary on the Bangladeshi nationalist movement and the subsequent war for independence.

The documentary titled "1971" produced by film director Tanvir Mokammel will depict the historically significant national and international events of the war. Historical footages from home and abroad will also be used in the 120 minute documentary film.

The documentary, to be finished by December, will be shown free-of-charge at different schools, colleges and other institutions in cooperation with Bangladesh Film Institute to inform younger generation about the glorious history of Bangladesh's national liberation.
