A special drone performance titled ‘Do You Miss Me’ was showcased on the night of August 5 over the capital’s Manik Mia Avenue, marking the first anniversary of July Mass Uprising Day.
The 12-minute-long spectacle began at 11:00 pm, captivating thousands of onlookers with a sequence of 12 drone-formed motifs illuminating the night sky.
The show opened with an image of a hand holding a placard reading: ‘Do You Miss Me?’, followed by what organisers described as the “terrifying face of fascist Sheikh Hasina” formed in lights above. A subsequent visual depicted Sheikh Hasina fleeing in a helicopter.
Other messages included: “We know rebuilding a fascism-free nation demands a long journey; but we, the people standing with Bangladesh, will not be deterred by rugged paths,” and “Together we shall build Bangladesh 2.0.”
The politically charged drone drama drew a significant crowd, many of whom stood in silence as the sky lit up with synchronised protest imagery.
