Sohel Rahman makes films about people the world has learned to look away from. His documentaries travel to the edges of human experience — into Rohingya refugee camps, onto Portuguese fruit farms, through the restless streets of Dhaka — and return with stories that linger long after the screen goes dark.

Trained across three European cities through the DocNomads European Joint Masters in Documentary Film Directing (Budapest, Brussels, Lisbon), his practice is built on deep immersion, ethnographic curiosity, and an unwavering belief in the dignity of his subjects.

He is the founder and CEO of DocMela and Vila Do Cinema — two companies dedicated to bringing socially engaged cinema to academic and cultural institutions worldwide.
