Artistic depictions of the Bangladesh Liberation War

There has been numerous works of art that depicted the Bangladesh Liberation War during and since the War both at Bangladesh and abroad. The concert for Bangladesh organized by members of the Beatles was a major happening in 1971 for protest music. The songs recorded for and broadcast on Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra are still considered to be the best of Bangladeshi protest songs.
The four documentaries made during the War – Zahir Raihan's "Stop Genocide" and "A State Is Born", Babul Chowdhry's "Innocent Millions", Alamgir Kabir's "Liberation Fighters" – are described as the first films made in Bangladesh, as earlier films were all made in Pakistan or India, larger entities that Bangladesh belonged to. "Muktir Gaan (Song of Freedom)", based on footage shot by Leer Levin during the war, by Tareque and Kathrine Masud is critically the most acclaimed Bangladeshi documentary. The directors followed the film with two sequels – "Story of Freedom" and "Narir Katha". Their feature film on the same subject, "Matir Moyna", won the FIPRESCII award at Cannes Film Festival.
There have been numerous poems and novels written on the Liberation war, including Shamsur Rahman's famous poems written during the War. Arguably it is the most often used subject for Bangladeshi literature since 1971. The monuments made to commemorate the War are the highest esteemed monuments in Bangladesh.
