Bangladesh Victory Day: When An American Diplomat Called Out US President To Save Dhaka
In 1971, a genocide unfolded in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), claiming over 3 million lives and causing unimaginable suffering. Amidst this horror, American diplomat Archer Blood defied the U.S. government's silence with his courageous 'Blood Telegram,' condemning the support of Pakistan despite clear evidence of atrocities. This documentary explores the geopolitical intricacies of the Cold War, the role of the U.S. in enabling the genocide, and how India, led by its Armed Forces and the Mukti Bahini, turned the tide of history to secure Bangladesh’s independence.
