Former Chief Prosecutor of the International Crimes Tribunal, Mohammad Tajul Islam, announced that he would personally finance a film about the July Revolution if the state fails to provide funding. Speaking at a special audio-visual release event organized by the July Martyrs Memorial Foundation on Saturday, he said he would even sell his car or his blood to raise money for the project. He urged capable filmmakers to come forward to make a quality film on the historic event.

Tajul Islam emphasized that producing a film based on accurate history is essential to counter false propaganda labeling the July Revolution as extremist activity. He described the movement as an epic struggle where one side used weapons and the other used their bodies as shields. He recalled the suffering of the injured during that period, stating that under the then autocratic regime’s “no release, no treatment” policy, patients were denied surgery and anesthesia.

He stressed that a well-made film would immortalize the heroism of the revolution and honor the sacrifices of the martyrs.
