During the 1960s and early 1970s, Zahir Raihan was arguably the most prominent Bangladeshi writer, filmmaker, and political activist in the world. His best-known film is the 1971 short documentary film Stop Genocide which documented “the killings and atrocities carried out by the Pakistan Army on the people of the then East Pakistan.”
The following year, Raihan disappeared while searching for his brother Shahidullah Kaiser, who was captured and killed by the Pakistan army. It’s believed that Zahir Raihan was killed in a surprise attack by members of the Pakistani army.
