Italians doing good in Bangladesh

one of the narrators of this ten-minute documentary went to Bangladesh on a six-month trip in 2001, and has never come back to Italy. Another came in 1998 and has been there twenty years. They have remained in the country working with others to better the conditions of this very poor country.Marco Baggiani is the founder of Pag'ono Pag'ono, an organization to improve schools. Rudy Bernabini is the regional director of teh organization. Alessandro Mossoni runs Filodijuta, a fundraising organization. These same people are involved in groups that provide medical assistance and potable water. This little documentary is a kind of advertisement for what they are doing. When you see this desperately poor but improving country and these bright eager faces of children, your heart will break and you'll want to take out your checkbook. This is a beautiful little film.

Gianmarco D'Agostio is a documentary filmmaker from Arezzo who is interested in social issues. You will find a detailed bio of the filmmaker on IMDb HERE. He is forty-one and comes from Arezzo.
