On the lawless eastern border between Bangladesh and India, lives a group of proud bandits, obsessed with Heath Ledger’s Joker. Re-enacting their past and celebrating their outsider status, they philosophise on their role in society, and the balance between order and chaos. In BAN♡ITS, not just the borders between states are unclear, but the borders between fiction and documentary blur, and ultimately, as do the borders between resistance, art and crime.
