There have been numerous works of art created as a result of the Bangladesh Liberation War. In 1971, a concert was organized by members of the British rock band, The Beatles, in support of Bangladesh. The songs recorded for and broadcast on Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra are still considered to be the best of Bangladeshi protest songs.
Four documentaries were made in Bangladesh during the War - Zahir Raihan's Stop Genocide and A State Is Born, Babul Chowdhry's Innocent Millions, and Alamgir Kabir's Liberation Fighters. These four films are considered to be the first films made in Bangladesh, since earlier films were produced in Pakistan or India. Muktir Gaan (Song of Freedom), by Tareque and Kathrine Masud, is based on footage shot by Leer Levin during the war and is the most critically acclaimed Bangladeshi documentary. The directors followed the film with two sequels – Story of Freedom and Narir Katha. Their feature film on the same subject, Matir Moyna, won the FIPRESCII award at Cannes Film Festival.
One of the more well-known authors to write about the Liberation War is Shamsur Rahman. Arguably, the Bangladesh Liberation War is one of the most referenced subjects for Bangladeshi literature since 1971. Monuments made to commemorate the War are some of the highest esteemed monuments in Bangladesh. One such memorial is Bangladesh's national monument, Jatiyo Smriti Soudho, located in Savar, Dhaka.
