Laughter That Heals the Day
The relationship between a mother and her child is the foundation upon which all human empathy is built. In every culture and every landscape, that protective embrace holds the same tender certainty. In the midst of daily hardship, love creates a fortress of quiet dignity.

With ‘Laughter Echoing Through the Alley’, Shahnaz Parvin shows us the heart of Bangladesh through its brightest asset: its children. It is a masterpiece of documentary portraiture.
