Eight-year-old Nur Kalima, a vulnerable, yet independent young girl, is among those who escaped genocide, fleeing the Northern Rakhine State in Myanmar to the Kutupalong Refugee Camp in Bangladesh. With a population of roughly eight hundred thousand people, this is the largest refugee camp in the world, inhabited primarily by Rohingya refugees evading ethnic and religious persecution. Established as a temporary sanctuary for asylum seekers in an area with few resources to support them, the camp has become a semi-permanent establishment, with little to no infrastructure to support a sustained settlement. Through one young girl’s eyes, One Life illuminates the growing refugee crisis and the complexities that surround this international issue and the inability of the humanitarian aid programs to support such a large and growing population of displaced people.
