In short episodes, Liz Bachhuber and Florian Wehking tell the stories of average working people living in a rich cultural heritage of handicraft and creativity. They invent many ways of recycling in order to make a living out of basically nothing, looking at it from the perspective of the affluent West, in the sense that “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” In this way, Handmade in Bangladesh offers an alternative point of view to the often one-sided media image of this young country.
