This initiative is a sub-movement woven into the broader July Revolution in Bangladesh against the Awami government.{{Cite web |last=Arts & Entertainment Desk |date=2024-08-09 |title=Aung Rakhine’s banned Chakma film ‘My Bicycle’ premieres |url=https://www.thedailystar.net/entertainment/tv-film/news/aung-rakhines-banned-chakma-film-my-bicycle-premieres-3673151 |access-date=2024-08-09 |website=The Daily Star |language=en}}
