Goodbye Hero!

In Bangladesh we rarely call someone a hero as the number is very few but when it comes to Tareque Masud, he was, is and will be the ace of all heroes! His lofty ambitions resulting in films like 'Matir Moyna' made him receive nine international awards and as far as I know he was the first Bangladeshi in Oscar competition. He brought glory to our country but still we could not save him. I participated in one of his classes while I was in a film making workshop in Dhaka and there he described what struggle he had to do with 'Matir Moyna'. Thanks to conspiracy, he screened it in many countries but could not show it to the people outside Dhaka. I realized that Tareque Masud did not take filmmaking as a profession but as his life and so he wanted everyone to call him 'feriwala' of films. We don't want to see any more deaths like this…we don't want to lose any more heroes.
