==Synopsis==<br />
In early 1971, Bengalis in eastern parts of Pakistan had voted on their right to govern after a convincing election victory. Shortly afterward a humanitarian crisis and war extended down the [[Bengal Delta]] as the [[military dictatorship]] attempted to repress the people. The events eventually led to the birth of an independent [[Bangladesh]].<ref>[https://www.thedailystar.net/frontpage/the-making-blockade-1328776 The Making of 'Blockade' – The Daily Star, December 15, 2018]</ref><ref>[https://www.dhakatribune.com/feature/2016/05/07/the-blockade-documentary 'The Blockade' documentary – The Dhaka Tribune May 7th, 2016]</ref><ref>medium.com [https://medium.com/@HShahana/blockade-in-review-remembering-bangladesh-in-1971-48bcbdd5d1f1 Blockade in Review, Remembering Bangladesh in 1971]</ref><br />
