B-Roll Working the Scales, Alipur Fish Dock Bangladesh

Ibrahim and the salty, weathered Muslim men who work in his rural village of Alipur live a simple, harsh, yet spiritually connected life.
In the West, we have yet to appreciate how much sweat and tears go into catching and bringing fish to our markets.
One of Ibrahim’s jobs is unloading, sorting, counting and transporting fish baskets from the large wooden boats in his village of Alipur in the district of Patuakhali, Barishal Division in Bangladesh.
There’s so much excellent raw content here!
I spent a few days capturing photos and shooting videos on my iPhone. I plan to compile a montage of the best clips using Final Cut Pro. But for now, enjoy the essence of a Bangladeshi fishing village.
I can’t wait to show you the video we captured on our Drone — a story for another time.
