DHAKA, Bangladesh: The Supreme Court in Bangladesh has lifted a ban on the screening of a movie about a garment worker who was rescued from the rubble 17 days after a factory building collapsed in 2013, killing more than 1,000 people.

In response to an appeal by the movie’s producer, a four-member panel of judges led by Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha decided late Sunday to stay a previous High Court order that banned the release of the movie for six months.

Producer Shamima Akhter argued that the movie should be released as the country’s Film Censor Board had earlier approved the screening of the film after cutting some scenes in response to previous court directives.

The film’s director, Nazrul Islam Khan, has argued that the real-life story of Reshma Begum depicts courage amid tragedy.
