Located in Bangladesh on its Myanmar (Burma) border, sits the world’s largest refugee camp. Home to over 800,000 people, nearly 95% of Myanmar’s Rohingya population reside in the city-sized camp after their villages were attacked and destroyed by the Myanmar militia. Though the camp organizers do their best to provide the refugees with all their needs, supplying sufficient resources, specifically food, continues to be the gravest challenge. These camps are not equipped to indefinitely sustain a population of this magnitude. Unfortunately, these circumstances are not unique. Refugees across the world are dealing with similar concerns. ONE LIFE provides a 360-degree look into the international relief system by profiling displaced refugees, the organizers working to support them, and the broken system in which they are both found. What begins as an intimate analysis of one refugee settlement quickly broadens into a systemic examination of a global crisis: hunger. Ultimately, the film challenges its viewers by asking them, “What is our responsibility to others?” (In English and Rohingya with subtitles) — R.R.
