013 - A dual identity with creative work and academia - with Adnan Fakir of Finding Bangladesh

March 12, 2021 • Tawsif Akkas • Season 2 • Episode 1

Adnan Fakir is best known for creating the popular documentary series “Finding Bangladesh”. He is also known in the country’s academia circuits for his work in the field of economics and is currently pursuing a PHD on it in the University of Western Australia.

This episode is not only the first of the brand new season of State of the Creators it’s also probably the longest. And that’s because Adnan and I have been friends for a while now and we share interests on a wide range of topics. It’s essentially a deep dive into the world of social media, the policies surrounding content regulation, funding a passion documentary, and what it means to juggle a PHD and producing creative work.
