Not everyone communicates in the same way. For some, visuals are their primary language, while for others, words hold all the meaning. The visually impaired do not derive language from visuals; instead, they construct images in their inner world through sound.

To raise awareness about the language of the visually impaired and to honour all forms of communication during Language Month, mobile network provider Grameenphone and OTT platform Chorki have launched a special campaign.

In observance of International Mother Language Day, the two companies have made cinema accessible to the visually impaired through audio description. The selected film for this initiative is the Chorki original "Kacher Manush Dure Thuiya", a project under the "Ministry of Love" series.

According to Grameenphone, "Kacher Manush Dure Thuiya" has been specially designed for this purpose. This version of the film will be available for free on the MyGP app from 21 to 23 February. In a post on its verified Facebook page, the company stated, "For the first time, Chorki and Grameenphone bring 'Kacher Manush Dure Thuiya' in the language of sight. Visually impaired individuals can now fully experience the film with audio description."
