Khamin travels to Najirhaat, Chittagong to observe the uniquely intriguing lives of the bede tribes of the area who enchant audiences with their skills as snake charmers, while traveling to remote areas to offer their services as healers. The tribe consists of seventeen families who are intertwined not just through profession, but also in leadership. One man leads the pack in all their adventures through thick and thin, settling disputes and looking out for the young and old. The lifestyle is quite similar to the ancient aboriginal tribes that popularised the concept of a tribal chief who would decide for the masses - setting down laws, and deciding where to migrate next. The tribe consists of individuals of all ages.
 Shredded clothes, no proper form of recreation, and no education - but these kids still find it within themselves to laugh, play, and live on. Their world is simple, yet riveting. They make the most of whatever they have, which is precious little, unfortunately |
