'Hasina: A Daughter's Tale' has been selected for the Durban International Film Festival in South Africa. The fortieth edition of the festival will run from July 18 to July 28. Gausul Alam Shawon who is overseeing the promotion of the docu-drama has confirmed that the film will be screened twice during the festival on July 20 and July 24. A four-member team behind the docu-drama is set to visit the festival.

Shawon has also said that the film has been invited in a number of other international film festivals but their details have not been disclosed deliberately. Soon the details will be disclosed.

Directed by Piplu Khan 'Hasina: A Daughter's Tale' tells the stories of sorrow, personal mementos, relationships of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Piplu Khan claims that the film is not a biopic but the story of the daughter of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and her sister Sheikh Rehana. The film shows how the two sisters escape the bloodbath that saw their rest of the family killed in 1975 and how Sheikh Hasina goes on to confront her past and grow confident in life. Piplu claims that while not highlighting her great leadership role the film would show Sheikh Hasina as a fighting human spirit.
