I have just watched the film named "Noise Runs" through the GCED platform. Although the film is old but I am very happy that I came to know it from your platform first. It is, in fact, on Haiti's Social change by a group of resilient youth after the severe earthquake struck on 2010. Quite surprising that I have found a great similarity between the change of Haiti and the recent change of Bangladesh after the severe protest of resilient youth through their voice over social media against the deadly violence and mass killing by the last fallen regime of Bangladesh.

The film Noise Runs captures the resilience and determination of Haitian youth in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake, where they used their voices and creativity to spark social change. Similarly, the youth-led protests in Bangladesh, particularly during the July Revolution of 2024, showcased the power of collective action and social media in challenging oppressive regimes.

Both movements highlight the transformative role of youth in driving societal change. In Haiti, young activists democratized information through initiatives like the radical newspaper Bri Kouri Nouvèl Gaye. In Bangladesh, social media became a platform for amplifying voices, exposing injustices, and mobilizing mass support.

The action of communities coming together in solidarity to create change as it is called ‘kombit’ in Haitian tradition have a good similarity of the unwritten tradition of freedom loving people of Bangladesh once there is a point of no returns comes against them. As the legacy of dependency happened in the African community like Haiti and other African countries, the life of the people of the third world are directly and indirectly chained by the first world in different names and shapes. It is a naked truth that the top-down imposition or the foreign policy of the Indian regime as gifted and inherited from the divide and rule strategy of the British empire just spoiled the social fabric of Bangladesh. It was just about to crush the final pillar (sovereignty) of an independent Bangladesh. However, we were lucky to have our youth emerged as our country’s saviour.

These parallels underscore the importance of resilience, creativity, and unity in overcoming adversity. how

In the perspective of Bangladesh, it is much more intense and severe since we are still struggling against the misinformation, disinformation and intentional propagation irrespective of ethical code of conduct of our close neighbour. So, our struggle is still on and our youth are ever vigilant to stand against the double agents inside and outside the country. So ‘Noise Runs’ and ‘July Revolution’ the on spot real life film of non-violent protest against the deadly weapon could be a perennial source of inspiration. These movements may influence global youth activism or brainstorm ways to channel such energy into constructive change.
